Need to convert msub launch to sbatch on LC systems. #17334

Open biagas opened 2 years ago

Describe the bug

Reported by Andy Cook.

There is a WARNING about the moab msub wrapper being deprecated then it sits forever at the “Visit is waiting for a parallel compute engine to launch. The squeue command does not show the waiting job.

Here's more of the warning

msub wrapper script is deprecated and will not be available on
clusters running future versions of TOSS. The command that is actually being run
by this script is:

sbatch CONVERTED_JOBSCRIPT

The moab2slurm command may be useful in converting #MSUB directives to #SBATCH.

Changing the launch method in the host profile from 'msub/srun' to 'sbatch/srun' worked on quartz.

We also have scripts that launch the nightly build and regression testing that should be updated as well.

We should change this in our installed versions as well, probably several versions.
