I am not sure why but i dodn’t see /etc/slurm. when i install slurmctld and slurmd from the ubuntu packages it created a directory slurm-llnl directory - /etc/slurm-llnl Putting slurm.conf in /etc/slurm-llnl/ seemed logical but again this is mew to me so any suggestion is good.

It doesn't hurt to try right (?) Thank you for your quick reply No, it doesn't hurt to try. If this was an upgrade of some sort, then the only concern might be downtime and its effect on users. 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
