Modifying Projects

When your project requirements evolve - such as needing different resources, changing priorities, or reorganizing Node Groups — you can update an existing Project through the Edit Project dialog.

Accessing the Edit Dialog

  1. Open the Projects Dashboard

    • From the left navigation menu, select Projects.
    • Locate the row for the Project you want to modify.

  2. Click the Edit Icon

    • In the Actions column, click the pencil icon (or the equivalent edit button) next to the Project name.
    • This launches the Edit Project dialog box, where you can view and modify the Project’s current configurations.

Editing Project Fields

Within the Edit Project dialog, you can modify the following:

  1. Project Name

    • Update the name to reflect the Project’s current purpose (e.g., ai-model-training).

  2. Department

    • Select a different Department if the Project now belongs under a different organizational unit (e.g., ai-development).

  3. Priority

    • Adjust the Priority slider (Lowest, Low, Medium, High, Highest) to control how workloads from this Project compete for resources when the cluster is heavily utilized.

  4. Node Groups

    • Check or uncheck boxes to add or remove Node Groups from the Project.
    • This governs which nodes are available to run workloads for the Project.

  5. Resource Reservation

    • For each Node Group, specify how many GPUs, CPUs, and how much Memory should be reserved for this Project.
    • This ensures that workloads under the Project have guaranteed access to essential resources.

  6. Drag-and-Drop to Reorder Node Groups

    • Use the drag handle (⋮⋮) beside each Node Group to drag and drop them in the desired sequence.
    • The order helps prioritize Node Group usage if multiple Node Groups are available.

Applying Changes

  1. Review Your Updates

    • Confirm that all fields (Name, Department, Priority, Node Groups, Resource Reservations) match your intended configuration.

  2. Click “Update”

    • After verifying your changes, click Update to apply them.

  3. Validate Changes

    • Back in the Projects dashboard, ensure the updated fields (e.g., new Project name, priority level, Node Group assignments) are correctly reflected.

Important Considerations

  • Active Workloads: If workloads are currently running under the Project, changing resource reservations or removing Node Groups may affect them. Ensure you understand how your changes will impact in-flight jobs.
  • Department Permissions: Moving a Project to another Department may require additional permissions. Check with your system administrator if you encounter access issues.
  • Reordering Node Groups: Keep in mind that the first Node Group in the list often receives scheduling priority if all groups have sufficient resources. Order them accordingly to match your operational needs.
