sacctmgr: Add a cluster to the slurm database.
$ sacctmgr add cluster ${cluster_name}
try on your machine

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

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "sacctmgr": It is a command-line tool used to manage SLURM accounting and configuration.
  • "add cluster": This is the sub-command used to add a new cluster to the accounting manager.
  • "${cluster_name}": This is a placeholder for the actual name of the cluster you want to add. You need to replace "${cluster_name}" with the desired name of the cluster.

The command is typically used to add information about a new cluster that will be part of the SLURM workload manager. This information includes the cluster's name, configuration, and other relevant details.

By adding a cluster to the SLURM accounting manager, you can keep track of resources, jobs, and usage on your cluster for better management and reporting.
