[slurm-users] SLURM configuration for LDAP users

Hi, I am a little new to this, so please pardon my ignorance. I have configured slurm in my cluster and it works fine with local users. But I am not able to get it working with LDAP/SSSD authentication. User logins using ssh are working fine. An LDAP user can login to the login, slurmctld

Hello Greg, I have a two node set up. node1 is primary slurmctld + backup slurmdbd and node2 is primary slurmdbd + backup slurmctld and mysql database host.  My concern is if node 2 goes down, then the backup slurmdbd will take over, then what will happen ? I have read that slurmctld can

Hi, Just for my info, I would like to know what happens when SlurmDBD loses connection to the backend Database, for ex, MariaDB. Does it cache the accounting info and keep them till the DB comes back up ?, or does it panic and shut down ? Thank you, RC.

Hi, I have observed that when I specify a switch type in the slurm.conf file and that particular switch type is not present in the slurmctld node, slurmctld panics and shuts down. Is this expected ? My slurmctld doesn't have the switch type, but the computes have that switch type. how can I
