However, I am setting up a calculating node, not the master node, and
thus I have not installed slurmctld on it.
After some digging, I have found that all these files:
/run/systemd/generator.late/slurm.service
/run/systemd/generator.late/runlevel5.target.wants/slurm.service
/run/systemd/generator.late/runlevel4.target.wants/slurm.service
/run/systemd/generator.late/runlevel3.target.wants/slurm.service
/run/systemd/generator.late/runlevel2.target.wants/slurm.service
Which are a copy of each other and are generated by
systemd-sysv-generator, point to the slurmctld.pid, not to the slurm.pid
[Unit]

~
How can I make it to avoid this? Besides editing the files manually,
which will go back to the original after reboot.
Thanks,
Ferran

Yes, you have both daemons, installed with the slurm rpm.The slurmd (all
nodes) communicates with slurmctld (runs in the main master node and,
optionally, in a backup node).
You do not need to run slurmd as the slurm user. Use `systemctld enable
slurmctld` (and slurmd) followed by `systemclt start slurmctld`. Use
restart instead of start if you change the configuration only if `sudo
scontrol reconfigure` asks for it.
If you run as root `slurmctld -Dvvvv` and `slurmd -Dvvvv` you'll see
debug outputs to see further problems with configuration. The slurmd
needs slurmctld running or will output "error: Unable to register:
Unable to contact slurm controller (connect failure)"
You should find the services here:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 339 may 30 20:18
/usr/lib/systemd/system/slurmctld.service
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 342 may 30 20:18
/usr/lib/systemd/system/slurmdbd.service
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 398 may 30 20:18
/usr/lib/systemd/system/slurmd.service
Feel free to ask for more information,
Best regards

Hi Ole,
Thanks for your answer and your time. I'd appreciate if you, or
someone else, could make a final look at my case.
After your suggestions and comments, I have re-done the whole
installation for Munge and Slurm. I uninstalled and remoced all
previous rpms and restarted from scratch. Munge works with no
problem, however it does not happen the same with slurm (for which I
have used the instructions given in the link you attached)
- If I run /usr/bin/slurmd -D vvvvv as root user, I get the verbose
until the line 'slurmd: debug2: No acct_gather.conf file
(/etc/slurm/acct_gather.conf)' where the verbose stops. After I do
Ctrl+C, I get
slurmd: all threads complete
slurmd: Consumable Resources (CR) Node Selection plugin shutting
down ...
slurmd: Munge cryptographic signature plugin unloaded
slurmd: Slurmd shutdown completing
- After that, if I run 'systemctl start slurmd' and 'systemctl
status slurmd', also as root user, I get:
*●*slurmd.service - Slurm node daemon

'systemctl start slurm'. Which does not work and returns the

Something that I don't really understand because I have not

Any idea?

Hi Ferran,
Please install Slurm software in the standard way, see
https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/niflheim/Slurm_installation
It seems that you have some unusual way to manage your Linux
systems. In
Stockholm and Sweden there are many Slurm experts at the HPC centers
which
might be able to help you more directly.
Best regards,
Ole
