Hi everyone, I am having trouble getting *slurmdbd* to work. This is the error I get:
*error: Couldn't find the specified plugin name for accounting_storage/mysql looking at all fileserror: cannot find accounting_storage plugin for accounting_storage/mysqlerror: cannot create accounting_storage context for accounting_storage/mysqlfatal: Unable to initialize accounting_storage/mysql accounting storage plugin* I have installed *mysql* (*apt install mysql*) on Ubuntu 20.04.03 and followed the instructions on the slurm website <https://slurm.schedmd.com/accounting.html>; *mysql* is running (*port 3306*) and these are the relevant parts in my *.conf* files: *slurm.conf* # LOGGING AND ACCOUNTING AccountingStorageHost=localhost AccountingStoragePort=3306 AccountingStorageType=accounting_storage/slurmdbd AccountingStorageUser=slurm JobCompType=jobcomp/none JobAcctGatherFrequency=30 JobAcctGatherType=jobacct_gather/linux SlurmctldDebug=info SlurmctldLogFile=/var/log/slurmctld.log SlurmdDebug=info SlurmdLogFile=/var/log/slurmd.log *slurmdbd.conf* AuthType=auth/munge DbdAddr=localhost DbdHost=localhost DbdPort=3306 LogFile=/var/log/slurmdbd.log PidFile=/var/run/slurmdbd.pid PluginDir=/usr/lib/slurm SlurmUser=slurm StoragePass=password StorageType=accounting_storage/mysql StorageUser=slurm StorageLoc=slurm_acct_db I changed the port to 3306 because otherwise *slurmdbd *could not communicate with *mysql*. If I run *sacct*, for example, I get: *sacct: error: _slurm_persist_recv_msg: read of fd 3 failed: No errorsacct: error: _slurm_persist_recv_msg: only read 126 of 2616 bytessacct: error: slurm_persist_conn_open: No response to persist_initsacct: error: Sending PersistInit msg: No errorJobID JobName Partition Account AllocCPUS State ExitCode ------------ ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- -------- sacct: error: _slurm_persist_recv_msg: read of fd 3 failed: No errorsacct: error: _slurm_persist_recv_msg: only read 126 of 2616 bytessacct: error: Sending PersistInit msg: No errorsacct: error: DBD_GET_JOBS_COND failure: Unspecified error* Does anyone have a suggestion to solve this problem? Thank you very much. Best, Giuseppe
