Thanks, Herman, for the feedback. My reason for posting was to request some inspection of the systemd file for slurmd such that this "nudging" would not be necessary.
I'd like to explore that a little more -- it looks like cgroupsv2 cpusets are working for us in this configuration, except for having to "nudge" the daemon to start with the steps originally listed. This document from RedHat explicitly describes enabling cpusets under cgroupsv2 under rhel 8 -- this at least appears to be working in our configuration. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/managing_monitoring_and_updating_the_kernel/using-cgroups-v2-to-control-distribution-of-cpu-time-for-applications_managing-monitoring-and-updating-the-kernel This document is were I got the steps to get the daemon working and cpusets enabled. I've checked the contents of job_*/cpuset.cpus under /s Regards, Jenny -----Original Message----- From: slurm-users <slurm-users-boun...@lists.schedmd.com> On Behalf Of Hermann Schwärzler Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2023 6:45 AM To: slurm-users@lists.schedmd.com Subject: Re: [slurm-users] cgroupv2 + slurmd - external cgroup changes needed to get daemon to start Hi Jenny, ok, I see. You are using the exact same Slurm version and a very similar OS version/distribution as we do. You have to consider that cpuset support is not available in cgroup/v2 in kernel versions below 5.2 (see "Cgroups v2 controllers" in "man cgroups" on your system). So some of the warnings/errors you see - at least "Controller cpuset is not enabled" - is expected (and slurmd should start nevertheless). This btw is one of the reasons why we stick with cgroup/v1 for the time being. We did some tests with cgroups/v2 and in our case slurmd started with no problems (except the error/warning regarding the cpuset controller). But we have a slightly different configuration. You use JobAcctGatherType = jobacct_gather/cgroup ProctrackType = proctrack/cgroup TaskPlugin = cgroup,affinity CgroupPlugin = cgroup/v2 We use for the respective settings: JobAcctGatherType = jobacct_gather/linux ProctrackType = proctrack/cgroup TaskPlugin = task/affinity,task/cgroup CgroupPlugin = (null) - i.e. we don't set that one in cgroup.conf Maybe using the same settings as we do helps in your case? Please be aware that you should change JobAcctGatherType only when there are no running job steps!
