Hi Chris Thank you for your message. At this point I want to get familiar with SLURM the easiest way. I have two post-docs I'd like to test SLURM with. Their jobs are pretty big, they run Monte Carlo simulation. Again, this would be a test environment and can always be changed, re-configured la

Re: [slurm-users] SLURM on Ubuntu 16.04

Good morning As you mentioned right now I have 1 master and 4 nodes and couple post-docs. I think we can manage it without the SQL ( MariaDB) accounting feature. I read in the schedmd website that I can use a text file instead of the sql database. I will still need to found out how to configure

Re: [slurm-users] SLURM on Ubuntu 16.04

I don't think the problem Chris is referring to (a SQL injection attack) is going to apply to you because you're way too small to need to worry about Slurm accounting, but if it is a concern, install the distro packages; confirm that things are roughly working and then just take note of how thi

Re: [slurm-users] SLURM on Ubuntu 16.04

Hi Chris - He has 4 nodes and one master. I'm pretty sure he's not going to be using slurmdbd? Of course something to keep in mind if things work out so well that his organization is commanding him to order an additional thousand nodes in 6 months. On 04/25/2018 07:03 PM, Christopher Samu

Hi Patrick, I am going to follow your suggestion to install slurm via ubuntu 18.04 package. I am waiting for the final release of 18.04 which i believe is tomorrow. As you mentioned I will install: the slurmctld package on the SMS (the master) the slurmd package on the nodes I know there will b
