Fortunately, once we figured out what systemd was doing, we didn’t need to interact with it besides adding its PAM module configuration line to slurm’s PAM config file. Best, Bill. -- Bill Barth, Ph.D., Director, HPC bba...@tacc.utexas.edu| Phone: (512) 232-7069 Office: ROC 1.435

Bill, thankyou very much for that. I guess I have to get my systemd hat on. A hat which is very large and composed of many parts, and indeed functions as a pair of pants too. On 10 August 2017 at 14:33, Bill Barth wrote: > If you use a modern enough OS (RHEL/CentOS 7,

how stupid I am, your perfectly right! How by hell was I unable to see that before I upgraded? I really need hollydays. Sorry for inconvenience. Maybe the error message could be enhanced like this: This is slurm controler host, slurmd doesn't need to run on controller host except if you list

[slurm-dev] Re: Slurmd v15 to v17 stopped working (slurmd: fatal: Unable to determine this slurmd's NodeName) on ControlMachine

Hi, I think you shouldn't run slurmd on your ControlMachine node (but run slurmctld and slurmdbd), as in your configuration I don't see that slurm_master has its NodeName line. So you should either add slurm_master to your slurm.conf in NodeName line or not start slurmd on the slurm_master.

[slurm-dev] Slurmd v15 to v17 stopped working (slurmd: fatal: Unable to determine this slurmd's NodeName) on ControlMachine

Hi, I've upgraded slurm 15.08.3 (built from rpmbuild -tb ) to 17.02.6 on centos-7-x86_64. Since I've done that, slurmd refuse to start on ControlMachine and on Backupcontroller. (it starts fine on compute nodes) The error is: slurmd: fatal: Unable to determine this slurmd's NodeName If I

[slurm-dev] Re: Per-job tmp directories and namespaces

If you use a modern enough OS (RHEL/CentOS 7, etc), XDG_RUNTIME_DIR will probably be set and mounted (it’s a tmpfs with a limited max size mounted, per-session, under /run/user/) on your login nodes, any node that environment propagates to (like the first compute node of a job), and anywhere

[slurm-dev] Re: Can you run SLURM on a single node ?

Yes, you can run slurm on a single node. There is no need for for a different head and compute node(s). You will need to set Shared=Yes if you want multiple people to be able to run on the machine simultaneously. The slurm.conf will have a single node defined in it. Best Sean On Thu, Aug

[slurm-dev] Can you run SLURM on a single node ?

Hi Everyone, In order to use resources more efficiently on a server that has 64 CPU Cores and 1 TB of RAM, is it possible to use SLURM on a stand alone server, or do you always need a head node and compute nodes to setup the clients? Please advise. Thank you. Carlos.

[slurm-dev] Per-job tmp directories and namespaces

I am sure someone discussed this topic on this list a few months ago... if it rings any bells please let me know. I am not discussing setting the TMPDIR environment variable and crateing a new TMPDIR directory on a per job basis - though thankyou for the help I did get when discussing this.
