Hello SchedMD team, I would like to use your slurm workload manager for learning purposes. And I tried installing the the software (downloaded from: https://www.schedmd.com/downloads.php ) and followed the steps as mentioned in:
https://slurm.schedmd.com/download.html https://slurm.schedmd.com/quickstart_admin.html My Linux OS is fedora 33, and i tried installing it as root login. After installation and configuration as mentioned in page: https://slurm.schedmd.com/quickstart_admin.html I got some errors when I tried to do srun. Details about the installation and use are as follows: Using root permissions, copied to: /root/installations/ cd /root/installations/ tar --bzip -x -f slurm-20.11.5.tar.bz2 cd slurm-20.11.5/ ./configure --enable-debug --prefix=/usr/local --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc make make install Following steps are based on https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/niflheim/Slurm_configuration mkdir /var/spool/slurmctld /var/log/slurm chown johnsy /var/spool/slurmctld chown johnsy /var/log/slurm chmod 755 /var/spool/slurmctld /var/log/slurm cp /var/run/slurmctld.pid /var/run/slurmd.pid touch /var/log/slurm/slurmctld.log chown johnsy /var/log/slurm/slurmctld.log touch /var/log/slurm/slurm_jobacct.log /var/log/slurm/slurm_jobcomp.log chown johnsy /var/log/slurm/slurm_jobacct.log /var/log/slurm/slurm_jobcomp.log ldconfig -n /usr/lib64 Now when I tried an example command for trial: srun /proc/cpuinfo I get the following error: srun: error: Unable to allocate resources: Unable to contact slurm controller (connect failure) My configuration file slurm.conf f that i created is: ###################################################################################################### ###################################################################################################### # slurm.conf file generated by configurator.html. # Put this file on all nodes of your cluster. # See the slurm.conf man page for more information. # SlurmctldHost=homepc #SlurmctldHost= # #DisableRootJobs=NO #EnforcePartLimits=NO #Epilog= #EpilogSlurmctld= #FirstJobId=1 #MaxJobId=999999 #GresTypes= #GroupUpdateForce=0 #GroupUpdateTime=600 #JobFileAppend=0 #JobRequeue=1 #JobSubmitPlugins=1 #KillOnBadExit=0 #LaunchType=launch/slurm #Licenses=foo*4,bar #MailProg=/bin/mail #MaxJobCount=5000 #MaxStepCount=40000 #MaxTasksPerNode=128 MpiDefault=none #MpiParams=ports=#-# #PluginDir= #PlugStackConfig= #PrivateData=jobs ProctrackType=proctrack/cgroup #Prolog= #PrologFlags= #PrologSlurmctld= #PropagatePrioProcess=0 #PropagateResourceLimits= #PropagateResourceLimitsExcept= #RebootProgram= ReturnToService=1 SlurmctldPidFile=/var/run/slurmctld.pid SlurmctldPort=6817 SlurmdPidFile=/var/run/slurmd.pid SlurmdPort=6818 SlurmdSpoolDir=/var/spool/slurmd SlurmUser=johnsy #SlurmdUser=root #SrunEpilog= #SrunProlog= StateSaveLocation=/var/spool SwitchType=switch/none #TaskEpilog= TaskPlugin=task/affinity #TaskProlog= #TopologyPlugin=topology/tree #TmpFS=/tmp #TrackWCKey=no #TreeWidth= #UnkillableStepProgram= #UsePAM=0 # # # TIMERS #BatchStartTimeout=10 #CompleteWait=0 #EpilogMsgTime=2000 #GetEnvTimeout=2 #HealthCheckInterval=0 #HealthCheckProgram= InactiveLimit=0 KillWait=30 #MessageTimeout=10 #ResvOverRun=0 MinJobAge=300 #OverTimeLimit=0 SlurmctldTimeout=120 SlurmdTimeout=300 #UnkillableStepTimeout=60 #VSizeFactor=0 Waittime=0 # # # SCHEDULING #DefMemPerCPU=0 #MaxMemPerCPU=0 #SchedulerTimeSlice=30 SchedulerType=sched/backfill SelectType=select/cons_tres SelectTypeParameters=CR_Core # # # JOB PRIORITY #PriorityFlags= #PriorityType=priority/basic #PriorityDecayHalfLife= #PriorityCalcPeriod= #PriorityFavorSmall= #PriorityMaxAge= #PriorityUsageResetPeriod= #PriorityWeightAge= #PriorityWeightFairshare= #PriorityWeightJobSize= #PriorityWeightPartition= #PriorityWeightQOS= # # # LOGGING AND ACCOUNTING #AccountingStorageEnforce=0 #AccountingStorageHost= #AccountingStoragePass= #AccountingStoragePort= AccountingStorageType=accounting_storage/none #AccountingStorageUser= AccountingStoreJobComment=YES ClusterName=cluster #DebugFlags= #JobCompHost= #JobCompLoc= #JobCompPass= #JobCompPort= JobCompType=jobcomp/none #JobCompUser= #JobContainerType=job_container/none JobAcctGatherFrequency=30 JobAcctGatherType=jobacct_gather/none SlurmctldDebug=info #SlurmctldLogFile= SlurmdDebug=info #SlurmdLogFile= #SlurmSchedLogFile= #SlurmSchedLogLevel= # # # POWER SAVE SUPPORT FOR IDLE NODES (optional) #SuspendProgram= #ResumeProgram= #SuspendTimeout= #ResumeTimeout= #ResumeRate= #SuspendExcNodes= #SuspendExcParts= #SuspendRate= #SuspendTime= # # # COMPUTE NODES NodeName=localhost CPUs=12 Sockets=1 CoresPerSocket=6 ThreadsPerCore=2 State=UNKNOWN PartitionName=debug Nodes=localhost Default=YES MaxTime=INFINITE State=UP ###################################################################################################### ###################################################################################################### ######################################################################################################
