[slurm-users] Redirect jobs submitted to old partition to new

[wdennis--- via slurm-users]

Hi all,

I have a single-partition Slurm cluster (the single partition name being "default_queue") that I now want to implement multiple different queues on to subdivide the resources. Say the new default queue is "queue1"; Should I set the "default_queue" to `State=INACTIVE` and then use `Alternate=queue1` on it to redirect jobs sent to the old "default_queue" to end up on "queue1"?

Thinking it would be nice to have an AltPartitionName= construct to handle this... (must be a reason this doesn't exist)

For jobs already in default_queue
squeue -t pd -h --Format=jobID |xargs -L1 -I{} scontrol update jobID={} partition=queue1

What version of slurm are you running?
In slurm 23.02.5, man slurm.conf under PARTITION CONFIGURATION
Alternate
Partition name of alternate partition to be used if the state of this partition is "DRAIN" or "INACTIVE."
