Hi By "minimal config" I'm assuming you mean "just enough config to get the slurmd to run". As far as I'm aware, you really need to have a complete and matching config on each of your daemons- like slurmd literally won't start with differing configs. There is the "NO_CONF_HASH" debug flag to get around that, but that's certainly not intended for production operations.
It might be tedious, but you'll save yourself a lot of aggravation down the road by copying the full config. - Michael On Tue, Aug 22, 2023 at 7:41 PM Maximilian Ebert <max.eb...@me.com> wrote: > Dear list, > > After configuring the head node it is usually recommended to copy the > entire slurm.conf to each compute node to make the available in the > cluster.
