NeSI OnDemand Current limitations¶

Limitation	What are the missing functions/commands associated with this
1. OnDemand apps are not exposed to HPC3 Slurm	Commands such as sbatch, sacct, squeue , scancel will not work from OnDemand apps
2. Missing user Namespaces in Kubernetes pods will interfere with some Apptainer operations	Although we can run apptainer pull command, apptainer exec,run,shell commands can not be executed due to missing user Namespaces

🙋 If you to come across above limitations, please consider switching to a HPC3 login node via Cluster > NeSI HPC Shell access via OnDemand home page
