Hi Patrick, I am going to follow your suggestion to install slurm via ubuntu 18.04 package. I am waiting for the final release of 18.04 which i believe is tomorrow. As you mentioned I will install:
the slurmctld package on the SMS (the master) the slurmd package on the nodes I know there will be some other configuration i would still need to do like the slurm.conf file. The slurm.conf needs to be the same on all nodes including the master. And then there is the database configuration as well. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Eric F.

You'll still need to do some configuration, but my guess is this will pull in the necessary dependencies and set everything up for you. On 04/25/2018 04:15 PM, Eric F.

Some people say that Ubuntu has packages for SLURM and i dont have to deal with downloading tar ball and make sure that all the files go to the right place.

Eric F. Alemany <mailto:ealem...@stanford.edu> April 25, 2018 3:27 PM Greetings, New to the forum and new to SLURM. I have 5 servers. 1 can be the master/headnode and 4 can be the compute node. My goal is to help a post-doc run “jobs” on the cluster and utilizing all the CPU’s and RAM from the 4 compute nodes. The post-doc runs radiation Monte Carlo simulation, RNA/DNA sequencing, DESEQ..etc I understand this is a very general question and i am sure there is a lot to take in consideration but if someone could guide through simple steps on how to install and configure SLURM on ubuntu for 1 master/headnode and 4 compute nodes I would be very grateful. Thank you for your time and help. Best, Eric _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ * *Eric F.
