Nate has a branch of slurm drmaa that allows specifying a --clusters

argument in the native specification this can be used to target

multiple hosts.

More information can be found here:

https://github.com/natefoo/slurm-drmaa

Here is how Nate uses it to configure usegalaxy.org:

https://github.com/galaxyproject/usegalaxy-playbook/blob/master/templates/galaxy/usegalaxy.org/config/job_conf.xml.j2

I guess instead of installing slurm-drmaa for a package manager or the

default source - you will just need to install Nate's version.

Hi, John, Dan, Carrie and all others,

I am considering a task of setting up a Galaxy instance which shall send

jobs to more than on cluster at a time. In my case I am using drmaa-python

and I was wondering if it was possible to configure multiple drmaa runners

each "pointing" at a different (slurm) control host, e.g.

local

drmaa1

drmaa2

Thanks a lot for your advice

Nikolay
