Level II: Internal

slurmdbd is not a requirement to get things started [1], but you'll probably 
want it later.

It’s possible you’ve got host-based firewall rules on either system that are 
blocking communication. If you’re using firewalld, ufw, or something similar, 
stop their services, restart the slurmd and slurmctld services, and see if that 
helps.

________________________________
Hello,

Recently, we installed slum 25 on our cluster. We are not monitoring the user's 
account. We didn't configure the sql database on the head node. We are running 
slurmcld on head node and slumd on the compute node.
We are getting the following error
Head node: compute node not responding.
Compute node:
2025-09-19T15:30:23.461] error: Unable to register: Unable to contact slurm 
controller (connect failure)

Do we need to run slumdbd on the head node?
I checked the network connection by pinging the compute node from the head node.
Do you have any suggestions to resolve this issue?

Thanks
Nilesh
