ConditionPathExists=/etc/slurm/slurmdbd.conf was not met
TIL about the "--now" option to "systemctl enable"... thanks for this one! ;) although I admit to prefer a step-by-step approach (and I'd only enable a unit if it's been successfully started once, to avoid complaints at reboot)... You wrote that you configured MySQL but didn't mention SlurmDBD config. Does the file that is being complained about exist (on that machine)? > So there seems to be a hole in the guide. Some config is needed? To be honest, I've been following Ole's detailed setup instructions since Adam and Eve - not the ones directly from the horse's mouth. Whatever, I'd first try to track down that ConditionPathExists issue...
