I did that but got the same errors. slurmdbd.log contains by the way the following: [2017-11-20T12:39:04.178] error: Couldn't find the specified plugin name for accounting_storage/mysql looking at all files [2017-11-20T12:39:04.179] error: cannot find accounting_storage plugin for accounting_storage/mysql [2017-11-20T12:39:04.179] error: cannot create accounting_storage context for accounting_storage/mysql [2017-11-20T12:39:04.179] fatal: Unable to initialize accounting_storage/mysql accounting storage plugin It seems it lacks the accounting_storage_mysql.so: $ ls /usr/lib64/slurm/accounting_storage_* /usr/lib64/slurm/accounting_storage_filetxt.so /usr/lib64/slurm/accounting_storage_none.so /usr/lib64/slurm/accounting_storage_slurmdbd.so However, I did install the slurm-sql rpm package. Any idea about what's failing? Thanks On 20/11/17 12:11, Lachlan Musicman wrote: On 20 November 2017 at 20:50, Juan A.

The pid file is the "process id" - it's only there if the process is running. So when slurmdbd is not running, it wont be there. Supposedly. Sometimes I do "touch /var/run/slurmdbd.pid" and try again? I've also found that using the host's short name is preferable to localhost. Make sure the host's short name is in /etc/hosts too. hostname -s will give you the short name Cheers L.
