Dear list, I just upgraded my cluster from SLURM 20.11.8 to 21.08.4. Before the upgrade I updated my configuration based on this comment from the release notes¹:
> -- Removed AccountingStoreJobComment option. Please update your config to use > AccountingStoreFlags=job_comment instead. After updating the slurmd.conf I upgraded SLURM, but got this error: > slurmd[21264]: error: _parse_next_key: Parsing error at unrecognized key: AccountingStoreFlags > slurmd[21264]: error: Parse error in file /etc/slurm/slurm.conf line 119: "AccountingStoreFlags=job_comment" > slurmd[21264]: fatal: Unable to process configuration file Then slurmctld drained all my nodes and all my jobs got cancelled. After I removed the invalid AccountingStoreFlags option and restarted the SLURM daemons on all nodes the jobs got rescheduled, but now all nodes are drained due to "Duplicate jobid". *sigh*. What happened here? Is this a bug? This is the messiest SLURM upgrade I've had in years... thank you for any advice, ¹ https://github.com/SchedMD/slurm/blob/slurm-21.08/RELEASE_NOTES#L135 -- Alan Orth alan.o...@gmail.com https://picturingjordan.com https://englishbulgaria.net https://mjanja.ch
