Thank you so much for your quick resplies, it is much appreciated. Im
sorry for my late response, but I havent been able to check the thread
nor did I except such quick response!
I just managed to build a new version of Slurm version 19.05 with PMIX
v3.1. It seems to work without error when starting a MPI-program with
the command srun.
I do though have some additional questions.
1. Prior to the installation of Slurm version 19.05 I tried to remove
the former installation of Slurm via the package tool in Ubuntu
(apt), but all of the files or dependencies have not been removed.
1. I cannot start the services (slurmctld and slurmd) via
systemctl. The error stated by systemctl is
2. For slurmd-service:
"slurmd.service: Failed with result 'protocol
Failed to start LSB: slurm daemon management"
3. For slurmctld.service:
"systemd[1]: Starting LSB: slurm daemon management...
slurmctld[4531]: Not starting slurmctld
slurmctld[4531]: slurm.conf was not found in /etc/slurm-llnl
lurmctld[4531]: Please follow the instructions in
/usr/share/doc/slurmctld/README.Debian
systemd[1]: slurmctld.service: Can't open PID file
/var/run/slurm-llnl/slurmctld.pid (yet?) after start: No such
file or directo
systemd[1]: slurmctld.service: Failed with result 'protocol'.
systemd[1]: Failed to start LSB: slurm daemon management."
4. So why is the folder /var/run/slurm-llnl/ searched? I must have
missed out on changing the /<sysconfdir>/ during configuration.
5. However I manage to start both of the services manually from the
build dir (<buidlDir>/src/slurmd/slurmd/ and
<buildDir>/src/slurmctld/ respectively)
@John Hearns: I am not currently running any cluster or HPC software. I
am testing the Slurm installation on a single node (a notebook for the
moment). I dont plan on installing any additional software as of now,
but I am interested in knowing what works and what works even better :)

Also look for the presence of the slurm mpi plugins: mpi_none.so,
mpi_openmpi.so, mpi_pmi2.so, mpi_pmix.so, mpi_pmix_v3.so,
They will be installed typically to /usr/lib64/slurm/. Those plugins
are used for the various mpi capabilities and are good "markers"
for how your configure detected and built the mpi components.

Hi Palle,
You should probably get the latest stable SLURM version from
www.schedmd.com <http://www.schedmd.com> and use the build/install
instructions found there. Note that you should check for WARNING
messages in the config.log produced by SLURM's configure, as they're
the best place to find you've missing packages that may be useful.
When configuring OpenMPI, you'll want to use "--with-pmi=/usr/local"
if you build SLURM and install it into /usr/local. You'll probably
also want "--enable-mpi-cxx".

Sam

Dear all,
I have been following this mailinglist for some time, and as a
complete newbie using Slurm I have learned some lessons from you.
I have an issue with building and configuring Slurm to use OpenMPI.
When running srun for some task I get the error stating that Slurm
has not been built or configured to use MPI and I am advised to
rebuild it accordingly.
i have taken the following steps in order to configure and build
Slurm with OpenMPI (or PMI2, it really doesnt matter for me right
now, I just want to have the know how on this such configuration
should be made).
1. Download source-code via "apt-get source slurm-llnl" (current
version for Ubuntu 18.10 is 17.11.9)
2. Extracted the source code from the slurm-llnl_17.11.9-1.dsc"
3. cd to source dir
1. First I ran the following steps:
1. "./configure --with-pmi"
2. "debuild -i -us -uc -b" -> Fails.
2. I then ran the following steps (noting that the
"debuild-command" overwrites some configuration, thus I
added "--with-pmi" for that case):
1. debuild -i -us -uc -b" -> Fails
I followed the same procedure when configuring OpenMPI to be built
with Slurm, which worked after some back and forth with clean
commands.
Any suggestions as to why this does not work?
I must be missing out on something very basic, because Slurm must
surely be used with Ubuntu and OpenMPI .
Best regards,
Palle
