?? 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...
The Systemd error message "ConditionPathExists=/etc/slurm/slurmdbd.conf
was not met" is a critical error! Check that the file exists and is owned
by the user slurm and group slurm, for example:
$ ls -l /etc/slurm/slurmdbd.conf
-rw-------. 1 slurm slurm 504 Feb 28 2023 /etc/slurm/slurmdbd.conf
Make sure that you configured slurmdbd.conf correctly, see this Wiki page:
https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/Niflheim_system/Slurm_database/#slurmdbd-configuration
IHTH,
Ole
