<div>Hi Ken</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am in the same boat as you are meaning that I am also new to SLURM.</div>
<div>This is what I've done from good recommendation.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Install Ubuntu 18.04 on your servers which just got released last week.</div>
<div>Apparently the ubuntu 16.04 package of SLURM is outdated.</div>
<div>Install slurm-llnl on headnode/master</div>
<div>Install slurmd on execute node</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The packages will install all libraries and dependencies that you need in the right place.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I once tried to install with the tar ball file and had lots of issues/error messages.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope this will help you to get going.</div>
<div><br>

<div>I am a new slurm user and am trying to set up a single node test system. I have spent endless hours trying to get slurm services to start. I am running Ubuntu Server V16.04 and slurm 17.11.5. My MB has an AMD 8 core processor. When I try to start slurmdbd
or slurmctld services I get messages saying can't access shared libraries or pid files missing. At times, I noticed that the pid files in /var/run have been deleted. I have made copies of the pid files and copy them back to /var/run when they are missing.</div>
<br>
<div>I have found that if I reinstall slurm from the tarball, the services will start. To speed things up, I have created a bash script to reinstall slurm, starting with the tarball extraction step. This is a very inefficient work-around.</div>
<br>
<div>Can anyone help me solve the problem of why slurm runs only once and then fails on subsequent starts?</div>
<br>
<div>I can send copies of conf and log files if requested.</div>
<br>
<div>Thanks, in advance.</div>
