Remote Solve Manager
When using the RSM cluster monitoring utility, it will only show jobs for
that particular version of ANSYS. For example, the 2022-R1 cluster monitor
will only show 2022-R1 jobs but a machine could also have 2021-R1 or other
version jobs running. This makes it pretty useless for determining if
machine resources are available when your installation could have multiple
ANSYS versions running. Does anyone know a way to get the cluster monitor
to show all ANSYS jobs?
Thanks.

Joe,
This is tangential to your question, but maybe helpful for the future. Do you have other types of jobs running on the cluster or just ANSYS? For a heterogeneous job mix, it may make sense to use a dedicated job scheduler for the cluster (SLURM, PBS LSF, etc.) and have all the individual RSM's submit to the master scheduler. If you have CFD or EM jobs they would all use the same scheduler too, so it would make it more 'fair' (for some values of fair) for everyone.
I'm running SLURM (free!) on my Linux cluster and it allocates by whole node or by core. We run ANSYS Mechanical, STAR-CCM+ (CFD), and in-house codes and they all use the SLURM scheduler. Ansys submits from PC->RSM->Slurm->RSM->PC, and it works really well. The last couple version of ANSYS natively support SLURM from RSM. For old versions I hacked some of the back-end scrips to get them to talk. And you can always hand-submit any job from the command line with a little script.

Thanks Aaron,
This particular machine only runs big ANSYS thermal/structural jobs. We
have other machines optimized for CFD. I've used LSF in the past at other
companies, but we just can't justify the cost of one in this situation. I
had a look at SLURM since you mentioned it's free, but it's LINUX based and
we are on Windows.
