This problem turned out to be that the new node was on a different subnet than the other nodes. Once our network admin opened up ports 6817, 6818, and 6188 between the subnets the new node worked.

If (1) works, try this from the node running slurmctld to the problem node slurm-node$ echo foo | ssh node munge | unmunge From: slurm-users [mailto:slurm-users-boun...@lists.schedmd.com] On Behalf Of Dean Schulze Sent: Friday, April 17, 2020 3:40 PM To: Slurm User Community List <slurm-users@lists.schedmd.com <mailto:slurm-users@lists.schedmd.com> > Subject: Re: [slurm-users] Munge decode failing on new node There is no ntp service running on any of my nodes, and all but this one is working. I haven't heard that ntp is a requirement for slurm, just that the time be synchronized across the cluster. And it is.

One node works, but the other one complains about an invalid credential for munge. I've verified that the munge.key is the same as on all other nodes with sudo cksum /etc/munge/munge.key I recopied a munge.key from a node that works. I've verified that munge uid and gid are the same on the nodes. The time is in sync on all nodes.
