I tried again with a completely new system (virtual machine). I used the latest source, I used mysql instead of mariadb, and I installed all the client and dev libs (below). I still get the same error. It doesn't build the /usr/lib/slurm/accounting_storage_mysql.so file.
Could the ./configure command be the problem? Here's how I run it: ./configure --prefix=/tmp/slurm-build --sysconfdir=/etc/slurm --enable-pam --with-pam_dir=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/security/ --without-shared-libslurm $ dpkg -l | grep mysql ii libmysqlclient-dev 5.7.28-0ubuntu0.18.04.4 amd64 MySQL database development files ii libmysqlclient20:amd64 5.7.28-0ubuntu0.18.04.4 amd64 MySQL database client library ii libmysqld-dev 5.7.28-0ubuntu0.18.04.4 amd64 MySQL embedded database development files ii mysql-client 5.7.28-0ubuntu0.18.04.4 all MySQL database client (metapackage depending on the latest version) ii mysql-client-5.7 5.7.28-0ubuntu0.18.04.4 amd64 MySQL database client binaries ii mysql-client-core-5.7 5.7.28-0ubuntu0.18.04.4 amd64 MySQL database core client binaries ii mysql-common 5.8+1.0.4 all MySQL database common files, e.g. /etc/mysql/my.cnf ii mysql-server 5.7.28-0ubuntu0.18.04.4 all MySQL database server (metapackage depending on the latest version) ii mysql-server-5.7 5.7.28-0ubuntu0.18.04.4 amd64 MySQL database server binaries and system database setup ii mysql-server-core-5.7 5.7.28-0ubuntu0.18.04.4 amd64 MySQL database server binaries On Tue, Dec 10, 2019 at 2:05 PM Dean Schulze <dean.w.schu...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm trying to set up my first slurm installation following these > instructions: > > https://github.com/nateGeorge/slurm_gpu_ubuntu > > I've had to deviate a little bit because I'm using virtual machines that > don't have GPUs, so I don't have a gres.conf file and in > /etc/slurm/slurm.conf I don't have an entry like Gres=gpu:2 on the last > line. > > On my controller vm I get errors when trying to do simple commnands: > > $ sinfo > slurm_load_partitions: Unable to contact slurm controller (connect failure) > > $ sudo sacctmgr add cluster compute-cluster > sacctmgr: error: slurm_persist_conn_open_without_init: failed to open > persistent connection to localhost:6819: Connection refused > sacctmgr: error: slurmdbd: Sending PersistInit msg: Connection refused > sacctmgr: error: Problem talking to the database: Connection refused > > > Something is supposed to be running on port 6819, but netstat shows > nothing using that port.
