[slurm-dev] spank plugin roll out on a cluster

[Hendryk Bockelmann]

Hello,






Hence, this does not seem to be a good idea ...
Any suggestion to do better?

Thanks, Hendryk

I was wondering what is the best/correct way to roll out a new version of a spank plugin (ie. *.so file) on the cluster - while keeping the production running. We used to submit as root one job per node with high priority that copies the stuff from some global lustre directory to node local /etc/slurm. Unfortunately, this causes the job to get stuck in running state and finally reaching the time limit. In slurmd.log one can see a message like error: _step_connect: connect() failed dir /var/log/slurm/spool_slurmd/ node m10037 job 3849566 step -2 Connection refused _handle_stray_script: Purging vestigial job script /var/log/slurm/spool_slurmd//job3849566/slurm_script
