sacctmgr: Add an account to the slurm database.
$ sacctmgr add account ${account_name} cluster=${cluster_of_account}
try on your machine

This command adds a new account to the SLURM accounting system using the "sacctmgr" command-line tool.

Here's an explanation of the different parts of the command:

  • sacctmgr: This is the command-line tool used for managing SLURM accounting.
  • add account: This specifies that we want to add a new account to the system.
  • ${account_name}: This is a placeholder for the actual name of the account you want to add. You would need to replace it with the desired name when running the command.
  • cluster=${cluster_of_account}: This specifies the cluster to which the account belongs. It also uses a placeholder ${cluster_of_account} that needs to be replaced with the actual cluster name.

In summary, this command allows you to add a new account to the SLURM accounting system, associating it with a specific cluster.
