System partitions
To determine which partitions (queues) exist on a cluster you can use the sinfo -s
command. Below is the command output from Cyclone.
sinfo -s
PARTITION AVAIL TIMELIMIT NODES(A/I/O/T) NODELIST

cpu up 1-00:00:00 13/4/0/17 cn[01-17]
The command shows the partition name, status, maximum time limit, node availability and node list.
