Re: [slurm-users] Building SLURM with X11 support

Thank you both for your replies. Our OS is CentOS 7.7. We have the dependencies installed and also the PrologFlags=X11 in the slurm.conf. Perhaps I am missing some X11 packages? But X11 is working outside SLURM. When getting interactive access on a node basically I get: salloc -N1 --x11 sall

[slurm-users] DMTCP or MANA with Slurm?

2021-05-27 Thread Prentice Bisbal
Is anyone currently using DMTCP or MANA with Slurm? I'm trying to DMTCP up right now, and I'm having issues with it. Googling for answers to my problems, all I find are other people asking the same questions on the dmtcp-forum mailing list without getting any answers. There was commit to the DM

Loris, Your analogy is incorrect, because Slurm doesn't use SSH to launch jobs, it uses it's own communication protocol, which uses munge for authentication. Some schedulers used to use ssh to launch jobs, but most have moved to using their own communications protocol outside of SSH. It's pos

While that's absolutely a significant issue, here's how we solved it, despite still using user keys. This basically assures that while people can SSH around with keys within our cluster, they get into the login nodes using SSH keys.  Combine that with the required enrollment in 2FA, and I think

Hi Thekla, it is build in by default since... some time. You need to activate it by adding PrologFlags=X11 to your slurm.conf (see here: https://slurm.schedmd.com/slurm.conf.html#OPT_PrologFlags) Best, Marcus On 27.05.21 14:07, Thekla Loizou wrote: Dear all, I am trying to use X11 forward
