Re: [slurm-users] Internet connection loss with srun to a node

This is very likely by design of the cluster and/or network. Otherwiseusers could use the cluster to mine bitcoin and such.

I thought that maybe srun doesn't transfer all settings from the headnode to the compute node.

The wget command works on frontend but doesn't work on the compute.

I will check the gateway with the admin.
Thanks for the hint.

    Probably unrelated to slurm entirely, and most likely has to do
    with lower-level network diagnostics. I can guarantee that it’s
    possible to access Internet resources from a compute node. Notes
    and things to check:

    1. Both ping and http/https are IP protocols, but are very
    different (ping isn’t even TCP or UDP, it’s ICMP), so even if you
    needed proxy variables for http and https to work, they shouldn’t
    affect ping.

    2. Do http or https transfers work from a compute node? A github
    clone, a test with curl or wget to a nearby web server? Do your
    proxy variables exist on the compute node, and most importantly,
    is there a proxy server listening and functional on the host and
    port that the variables point to?

    3. What’s the default gateway for your compute nodes? Does that
    gateway provide network address translation (NAT) for the nodes,
    or does it work as a traditional router?

    Hi
    A frontend machine is connected to the internet and from that
    machine, I use srun to get a bash on another node. But it seems
    that the node is unable to access the internet. The http_proxy and
    https_proxy are defined in ~/.bashrc

    I guess that is related to slurm and srun.
    Any idea for that?
