A number of new Qlustar features were completed recently and published together with the latest security updates.

QluMan 12.0.7.3 highly improves on its slurm management capabilities basically making the slurm component feature complete. It adds

  • Real Slurm QoS management in the GUI. QoS can now easily be added, edited, removed and assigned. The full list of QoS properties may be added/removed and manipulated including sanity checking the values entered.
  • Slurm association and limits management has been added in the GUI unleashing the power of advanced slurm resource management to QluMan admins. Various visual filters have been created to achieve a comprehensive display of slurm associations. The full list of association settings may be added/removed and manipulated including sanity checking the values entered.
  • An ‘LDAP group <-> Slurm account’ sync mechanism has been designed to automate slurm user setup upon creation of the user in LDAP. Slurm accounts may be associated with LDAP groups such that depending on users primary group the corresponding slurm account will be assigned as their default.
  • Cron-based LDAP DB backup was introduced to allow a disaster recovery in case the LDAP DB becomes corrupted.
