Hi Miguel,
No, I don't need to connect to SLURM clusters, so I have only one
slurmctld. What I need is connect some computers from "1.1.1.0" network
to a HPC Clusters in "1.1.2.0" network. From computers I only need
submit jobs that will be executed inside clusters. So my question (or
doubt) is what I need to share between two networks for allowing submit
jobs from one side to the other side.

Hello,
I have this scenario and I need to know if it would be possible for SLURM to
work.
I have some computers that will act as "submit" SLURM hosts; in other words, in
that hosts won't run batch or interactive jobs. That computers are configured with a
network as 1.1.1.0/24 for example.
Do I understand here submit host = login host?
On the other side of my scenario, I manage a HPC Cluster configured in a
network like 1.1.2.0/24. I can connect using SSH from submits computers to HPC
Cluster server with no problem
I need to connect my submits hosts with my entire HPC Cluster for allowing people submit jobs from hosts and,
then, execute that jobs in the cluster. From server, I will share "/slurm" folder via NFS for all
the compute nodes inside the cluster, but also I could share "/slurm" with submit hosts (opening
their ports in iptables). I suppose I need to configure in "slurmd.conf" all my nodes: HPC compute
nodes and submit hosts.
As far as I know, the only thing you need to physically share between the two
slurmctlds is the StateSaveLocation if you want failover. Other than that you
need to:
- make sure they all use the same Munge key, if you’re using Munge.
- make sure all systems are reachable in the configured Slurm ports.
- make sure all systems have the same defined users.
There is no concept of ‘routing node' as in other scheduling systems,
submission hosts need to be able to reach compute nodes and control daemons. If
this cannot be an option, it is possible to have ssh wrappers here and there…
but it becomes ugly very fast.
Will run SLURM if it is configured for both networks?
As said, yes, if you have all-to-all routing enabled on the configured ports.
Could anybody answer me?
Thanks.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Miguel
