Navin, As you can see, systemd provides very little service-specific information. For slurm, you really need to go to the slurm logs to find out what happened.
Hint: A quick way to identify problems like this with slurmd and slurmctld is to run them with the “-Dvvv” option, causing them to log to your window, and usually causing the problem to become immediately obvious. For example, # /usr/local/slurm/sbin/slurmd -Dvvvv Just it ^C when you’re done, if necessary. Of course, if it doesn’t fail when you run it this way, it’s time to look elsewhere.
