Maui 3.2.5 FairShare Support for 'old style' fs.cfg fairshare specification removed see http://supercluster.org/documentation/maui/324/6.3fairshare.html Resource Managers The index for the 'RM*' parameters is now a resource manager 'name' rather than an integer. Consequently, the RMNAME parameter is now disabled. Under 3.2.5, resource manager configuration can be specified using either the the 'rmcfg' parameter or the set of 'RM*' parameters. For Loadleveler systems, specify the TYPE value 'LL' for all Loadleveler versions, not LL1, LL2, etc. QOS While QOS facility still supports the 'IGN*' flags to allow ignoring of various throttling policies, it actually provides more flexible management of these policies through the use of 'override' throttling policies. For example, the parameter 'QOSCFG[special] OMAXPROC=20' can be specified to set the MAXPROC limit of any job using the 'special' QOS to 20 regardless of any other credential based job limits. The QOS 'FLAGS' attribute has now been separated into two distinct attributes, 'QFLAGS' and 'JOBFLAGS'. QFLAGS specifies aspects of the QOS and the privileges it allows, such as 'NOBF', 'IGNPROCPERUSER', or 'PREEMPTOR'. The 'JOBFLAGS' attribute specifies the job default job flags which should be set on jobs using this QOS. Examples of these values include 'SPAN', 'ADVRES', etc. Priority Specification Maui 3.2.5 supports a full two stage hierarchical priority scheme consisting of priority components and subcomponents all with their own weights and caps. Reservations Standing reservations will no longer 'float' by default. Floating allowed reservation to 'relocate' when nodes went down or when a migration would improve overall system utilization. With the current version, the standing reservation FLAGS attribute must be set to SPACEFLEX to enable this feature. Further, the SR* parameters (SRTASKCOUNT, SRHOSTLIST, etc) are now deprecated being replaced by the SRGCFG parameter. If these parameters are used, the 'SRNAME' value should be specified as the array index (ie, 'SRTASKCOUNT[bigjobs] 32'). Because of this change, the SRNAME parameter is no longer supported. Scheduling Policies NODEACCESSPOLICY no longer accepts 'DEDICATED' as a valid value. Legal values are now 'SHARED', 'SINGLEJOB', 'SINGLETASK', and 'SINGLEUSER'. Other trivia: The parameter RESOURCEWEIGHT is not supported. RESWEIGHT is a component weight. To adjust priority based on a job's requested processors, specify --- RESWEIGHT 1 PROCWEIGHT 100 --- The parameter URGENCYWEIGHT is not supported. TARGETWEIGHT is a component weight. To adjust priority based on a job's service target, the parameter TARGETXFACTORWEIGHT and/or TARGETQUEUETIMEWEIGHT must be specified. QOSWEIGHT, USERWEIGHT, etc, are now subcomponents of the CRED priority component and should be specified in conjunction with the CREDWEIGHT parameter, ie --- CREDWEIGHT 2 ACCOUNTWEIGHT 10 QOSWEIGHT 20 --- (See http://supercluster.org/documentation/maui/324/5.1jobprioritization.html)
