Hi Jim,
Maybe you'll find these Wiki pages relevant for setting up your Slurm
database:

I’ve been working on updating our small slurm cluster over the last few
days. I’ve successfully updated the cluster. However our cluster is
missing the slurmdbd configuration, and while I know it’s not required, I
would like to add that as it would be helpful to access job history
details and potentially manage and prioritize resources with Fair Share as
we scale up.
Anyways I’ve gone through https://slurm.schedmd.com/accounting.html
<https://slurm.schedmd.com/accounting.html> and as opposed to other docs
in the project, details on configuring accounting is rather vague. I’m a
bit confused as to the exact steps, and what prerequisites and
dependencies are needed. Are there better instructions on setting up
configuring slurmdbd on an existing cluster?
Initial questions I have:
* When building slurm, did I need to have libmariadbd-dev (or other
MariaDB client or libs) present? Is this only needed by the slurmdbd
node or does slurmd / slurmctrld also need this?
* Are there any limitations on how MariaDB is run? I typically run
containerized MariaDB so it can be easily backed up, moved, etc. I
see the configure script has a `--with-mysql_conf`, however if running
containerized on a different system, is this path need to be
accessible post configure?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim
