<p>That error means it is not finding the slurm.conf file, so it is trying to do config-less mode and querying DNS for the SRV records.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Verify that you have /etc/slurm/slurm.conf on the system you are running that on<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Also ensure you don't have any environment variables set that tell it to look elsewhere.<o:p></o:p></p>
