Good afternoon,
I have a very simple two node cluster using Warewulf 4.3. I was following
some instructions on how to install the OpenHPC Slurm binaries (server and
client). I booted the compute node and the Slurm Server says it's in an
unknown state. This hasn't happened to me before but I would like to debug
the problem.
I checked the services on the S:urm server (head node)
$ systemctl status munge
● munge.service - MUNGE authentication service

$ systemctl status slurmctld
● slurmctld.service - Slurm controller daemon

I then booted the compute node and checked the services there:
systemctl status munge

# systemctl status slurmd

On the SLurm server I checked the queue and "sinfo -a" and found the
following:
$ squeue
JOBID PARTITION NAME USER ST TIME NODES
NODELIST(REASON)
$ sinfo -a
PARTITION AVAIL TIMELIMIT NODES STATE NODELIST
normal* up 1-00:00:00 1 unk* n0001
After a few moments (less than a minute - maybe 20-30 seconds, slurmd on
the compute node fails. WHen I checked the service I saw this:
$ systemctl status slurmd
● slurmd.service - Slurm node daemon
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/slurmd.service; enabled; vendor

Below are the logs for the slurm server for today (I rebooted the compute
twice)

There are no logs on the compute node.
Any suggestions where to start looking? I think I'm seeing the trees and
not the forest :)
Thanks!
