[slurm-dev] Daemon doesn't start at boot

[Daniel Ruiz Molina]

    Hello,

   I have noticed that in all my cluster (running CentOS-7.x x886_64),
   slurmd daemon doesn't start automatically, even though it is
   configured as "enabled" at boot time.
   My slurmd systemd file is:

     # /usr/lib/systemd/system/slurmd.service
     [Unit]
     Description=Slurm node daemon
     After=ypbind.service nfs-mountd.service rpcbind.service
     nfs-lock.service nfslock.service nfs.target remote-fs.target
     ConditionPathExists=/soft/slurm-16.05/etc/slurm.conf

     [Service]
     Type=forking
     EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/slurmd
     ExecStart=/soft/slurm-16.05/sbin/slurmd $SLURMD_OPTIONS
     ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
     PIDFile=/var/run/slurmd.pid
     KillMode=process
     LimitNOFILE=51200
     LimitMEMLOCK=infinity
     LimitSTACK=infinity

     [Install]
     WantedBy=multi-user.target


   I need this daemon starts after ypbind and nfs-mount because slurm
   path is located in a NFS shared folder. Because of this, I added some
   days the "ConditionPathExits" attribute in Unit section, but daemon
   doesn't start.

   I think this is the reason my partition always are in "down" state...
   Is there a way for executing a "make node idle" for all the computes
   in a partition?

   Could you help me?

   Thanks.
