But as this seems like a new installation, there is no harm at all. Keep an eye on the log files in /var/log/. The paths should be set in the slurm.conf . They are quite helpful [on Ubuntu, at least]. When I did a fresh 17.10 install, the type of errors I got were write permissions for the slurm process, etc. and most of this was mentioned in the log files. Maybe start with just the head node and then once you get that working, add the execution nodes. Good luck! Ray
