Hey, I am building up a one node cluster. Master and node are n the same machine. My slurm.conf:
ControlMachine=bayes # MpiDefault=none ProctrackType=proctrack/pgid ReturnToService=1 SlurmctldPidFile=/var/run/slurm-llnl/slurmctld.pid SlurmctldPort=6817 SlurmdPidFile=/var/run/slurm-llnl/slurmd.pid SlurmdPort=6818 SlurmdSpoolDir=/var/spool/slurmd SlurmUser=slurm StateSaveLocation=/var/spool/slurmctld SwitchType=switch/none TaskPlugin=task/none # # # TIMERS InactiveLimit=0 KillWait=30 MinJobAge=300 SlurmctldTimeout=120 SlurmdTimeout=300 Waittime=0 # # # SCHEDULING FastSchedule=1 SchedulerType=sched/builtin SelectType=select/linear # # # LOGGING AND ACCOUNTING AccountingStorageLoc=/var/log/slurm-llnl/job_accounting AccountingStorageType=accounting_storage/filetxt AccountingStoreJobComment=YES ClusterName=bayes JobCompLoc=/var/log/slurm-llnl/job_completion JobCompType=jobcomp/filetxt JobAcctGatherFrequency=60 JobAcctGatherType=jobacct_gather/linux SlurmctldDebug=info SlurmctldLogFile=/var/log/slurm-llnl/slurmctld.log SlurmdDebug=info SlurmdLogFile=/var/log/slurm-llnl/slurmd.log # COMPUTE NODES GresTypes=gpu NodeName=bayes Gres=gpu:tesla:1 CPUs=48 Sockets=2 CoresPerSocket=12 ThreadsPerCore=2 State=UNKNOWN PartitionName=long Nodes=bayes Default=YES MaxTime=INFINITE State=UP I started the control deamon, but get this information: $ systemctl status slurmctld.service ● slurmctld.service - Slurm controller daemon Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/slurmctld.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2019-02-13 14:43:02 CET; 7min ago Docs: man:slurmctld(8) Process: 40552 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/slurmctld $SLURMCTLD_OPTIONS (code=exited, status=0/SUCCE Main PID: 40560 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) $ sinfo PARTITION AVAIL TIMELIMIT NODES STATE NODELIST long* up infinite 1 idle bayes I tried to start the slurm deamon, but the timout exceeds. slurmd -Dvvv gives: slurmd: error: chmod(/var/spool/slurmd, 0755): Operation not permitted slurmd: error: Unable to initialize slurmd spooldir slurmd: error: slurmd initialization failed Does someone know whats going on?
