Slurm versions 24.05.2, 23.11.9, and 23.02.8 are now available (security fix for switch plugins)
by Tim Wickberg 31 Jul '24

31 Jul '24

Slurm versions 24.05.2, 23.11.9, and 23.02.8 are now available and include a fix for a recently discovered security issue with the switch plugins. SchedMD customers were informed on July 17th and provided a patch on request; this process is documented in our security policy. [1] For the switch/hpe_slingshot and switch/nvidia_imex plugins, a user could override the isolation between Slingshot VNIs or IMEX channels. If you do not have one of these switch plugins configured, then you are not impacted by this issue. It is unclear what, if any, information could be accessed with access to an unauthorized channel. This disclosure is being made out of an abundance of caution. If you do have one of these plugins enabled, the slurmctld must be restarted before the slurmd daemons to avoid disruption. Downloads are available at https://www.schedmd.com/downloads.php .

slurmd error: port already in use, resulting in slaves not being able to communicate with master slurmctld
by Shooktija S N 30 Jul '24

30 Jul '24

Hi, I'm trying to set up a Slurm (version 22.05.8) cluster consisting of 3 nodes with these hostnames and local IP addresses: server1 - 10.36.17.152 server2 - 10.36.17.166 server3 - 10.36.17.132 I had scrambled together a minimum working example using these resources: https://github.com/SergioMEV/slurm-for-dummies https://blog.devops.dev/slurm-complete-guide-a-to-z-concepts-setup-and-trou… For a while everything looked fine and I was able to run the command I usually use to see if everything is fine: srun --label --nodes=3 hostname Which used to show the expected output of the hostnames of all 3 computers, namely: server1, server2, and server3. However - after having made no changes to the configs - the command no longer works if I specify the number of nodes as anything more than 1, this behaviour is consistent on all 3 computers, the output of 'sinfo' is also included below: root@server1:~# srun --nodes=1 hostnameserver1root@server1:~# root@server1:~# srun --nodes=3 hostnamesrun: Required node not available (down, drained or reserved)srun: job 312 queued and waiting for resources^Csrun: Job allocation 312 has been revokedsrun: Force Terminated JobId=312root@server1:~# root@server1:~# ssh server2 "srun --nodes=1 hostname"server1root@server1:~# root@server1:~# ssh server2 "srun --nodes=3 hostname"srun: Required node not available (down, drained or reserved)srun: job 314 queued and waiting for resources^Croot@server1:~# root@server1:~# root@server1:~# sinfoPARTITION AVAIL TIMELIMIT NODES STATE NODELISTmainPartition* up infinite 2 down* server[2-3]mainPartition* up infinite 1 idle server1root@server1:~# Turns out, slurmctld on the master node (hostname: server1) and slurmd on the slave nodes (hostnames: server2 & server3) are throwing some errors probably related to networking: A few lines before and after the first occurence of the error in slurmctld.log on the master node - it's the only type of error I have noticed in the logs (pastebin to the entire log <https://pastebin.com/GBSWXZJR>): root@server1:/var/log# grep -B 20 -A 5 -m1 -i "error" slurmctld.log[2024-07-26T13:13:49.579] select/cons_tres: part_data_create_array: select/cons_tres: preparing for 1 partitions[2024-07-26T13:13:49.580] debug: power_save module disabled, SuspendTime < 0[2024-07-26T13:13:49.580] Running as primary controller[2024-07-26T13:13:49.580] debug: No backup controllers, not launching heartbeat.[2024-07-26T13:13:49.580] debug: priority/basic: init: Priority BASIC plugin loaded[2024-07-26T13:13:49.580] No parameter for mcs plugin, default values set[2024-07-26T13:13:49.580] mcs: MCSParameters = (null). ondemand set.[2024-07-26T13:13:49.580] debug: mcs/none: init: mcs none plugin loaded[2024-07-26T13:13:49.580] debug2: slurmctld listening on 0.0.0.0:6817[2024-07-26T13:13:52.662] debug: hash/k12: init: init: KangarooTwelve hash plugin loaded[2024-07-26T13:13:52.662] debug2: Processing RPC: MESSAGE_NODE_REGISTRATION_STATUS from UID=0[2024-07-26T13:13:52.662] debug: gres/gpu: init: loaded[2024-07-26T13:13:52.662] debug: validate_node_specs: node server1 registered with 0 jobs[2024-07-26T13:13:52.662] debug2: _slurm_rpc_node_registration complete for server1 usec=229[2024-07-26T13:13:53.586] debug: Spawning registration agent for server[2-3] 2 hosts[2024-07-26T13:13:53.586] SchedulerParameters=default_queue_depth=100,max_rpc_cnt=0,max_sched_time=2,partition_job_depth=0,sched_max_job_start=0,sched_min_interval=2[2024-07-26T13:13:53.586] debug: sched: Running job scheduler for default depth.[2024-07-26T13:13:53.586] debug2: Spawning RPC agent for msg_type REQUEST_NODE_REGISTRATION_STATUS[2024-07-26T13:13:53.587] debug2: Tree head got back 0 looking for 2[2024-07-26T13:13:53.588] debug2: _slurm_connect: failed to connect to 10.36.17.166:6818: Connection refused[2024-07-26T13:13:53.588] debug2: Error connecting slurm stream socket at 10.36.17.166:6818: Connection refused[2024-07-26T13:13:53.588] debug2: _slurm_connect: failed to connect to 10.36.17.132:6818: Connection refused[2024-07-26T13:13:53.588] debug2: Error connecting slurm stream socket at 10.36.17.132:6818: Connection refused[2024-07-26T13:13:54.588] debug2: _slurm_connect: failed to connect to 10.36.17.166:6818: Connection refused[2024-07-26T13:13:54.588] debug2: Error connecting slurm stream socket at 10.36.17.166:6818: Connection refused[2024-07-26T13:13:54.589] debug2: _slurm_connect: failed to connect to 10.36.17.132:6818: Connection refused The connections to 10.36.17.166:6818 and 10.36.17.132:6818 are refused.

Convergence of Kube and Slurm?
by Dan Healy 29 Jul '24

29 Jul '24

Bright Cluster Manager has some verbiage on their marketing site that they can manage a cluster running both Kubernetes and Slurm. Maybe I misunderstood it. But nevertheless, I am encountering groups more frequently that want to run a stack of containers that need private container networking. What’s the current state of using the same HPC cluster for both Slurm and Kube? Note: I’m aware that I can run Kube on a single node, but we need more resources. So ultimately we need a way to have Slurm and Kube exist in the same cluster, both sharing the full amount of resources and both being fully aware of resource usage. Thanks, Daniel Healy

Hi there all, We have Dell server with 2 x Nvidia H100 and running slurm on it. After restart server if we do not write nvidia-smi command slurm fails. When we run nvidia-smi && systemctl restart slurmd && systemctl restart slurmctld , slurm queue begins. Do you have any idea about this error and what can we do for this issue? -- Best regards, Aziz Öğütlü Eduline Bilişim Sanayi ve Ticaret Ltd. Şti. www.eduline.com.tr Merkez Mah. Ayazma Cad.

Background tasks in Slurm scripts?
by Steffen Grunewald 26 Jul '24

26 Jul '24

Good morning, yesterday I came across a Slurm (sbatch) script that, after doing some stuff in the foreground, runs another executable in the background - and doesn't "wait" for it to finish - literally the last line of the script is executable & (and that executable is supposed to take several 10 seconds or more to finish) How would Slurm handle this? Will the end of the script immediately trigger the job epilog, and what would happen to the leftover task? This certainly is discussed somewhere in the manual pages and other documentation but up to now I failed to find that place...

API - Specify GPUs
by jpuerto＠psc.edu 26 Jul '24

26 Jul '24

Good Afternoon All, It does not seem that the REST API allows for folks to configure their jobs to utilize GPUs, using the traditional methods. IE, there does not appear to be an equivalent between the --gpus (or --gres) flag on sbatch/srun and the REST API's job submission endpoint. Can anyone point me towards what should be used if the version we are on does not support tres specifications? Best regards, Juan Puerto

Error binding slurm stream socket: Address already in use, and GPU GRES verification
by Shooktija S N 23 Jul '24

23 Jul '24

Hi, I am trying to set up Slurm with GPUs as GRES on a 3 node configuration (hostnames: server1, server2, server3). For a while everything looked fine and I was able to run srun --label --nodes=3 hostname which is what I use to test if Slurm is working correctly, and then it randomly stops. Turns out slurmctld is not working and it throws the following error (the two lines are consecutive in the log file): root@server1:/var/log# grep -i error slurmctld.log [2024-07-22T14:47:32.302] error: Error binding slurm stream socket: Address already in use[2024-07-22T14:47:32.302] fatal: slurm_init_msg_engine_port error Address already in use This error is being thrown after having made no changes to the config files, in fact the cluster wasn't used at all for a few weeks before this error was thrown. This is the simple script I use to restart Slurm: root@server1:~# cat slurmRestart.sh #! /bin/bashscp /etc/slurm/slurm.conf server2:/etc/slurm/ && echo copied slurm.conf to server2;scp /etc/slurm/slurm.conf server3:/etc/slurm/ && echo copied slurm.conf to server3;rm /var/log/slurmd.log /var/log/slurmctld.log ; systemctl restart slurmd slurmctld ; echo restarting slurm on server1;(ssh server2 "rm /var/log/slurmd.log /var/log/slurmctld.log ; systemctl restart slurmd slurmctld") && echo restarting slurm on server2;(ssh server3 "rm /var/log/slurmd.log /var/log/slurmctld.log ; systemctl restart slurmd slurmctld") && echo restarting slurm on server3; Could the error be due to the slurmd and/or slurmctld not being started in the right order? The other question I have is regarding the configuration of a GPU as a GRES - how do I verify that it has been configured correctly? I was told to use srun nvidia-smi with and without having enabled GPU use, but whether or not I enable GPU usage has no effect on the output of the command: root@server1:~# srun --nodes=1 nvidia-smi --query-gpu=uuid --format=csvuuidGPU-55f127a8-dbf4-fd12-3cad-c0d5f2dcb005root@server1:~# root@server1:~# srun --nodes=1 --gpus-per-node=1 nvidia-smi --query-gpu=uuid --format=csvuuidGPU-55f127a8-dbf4-fd12-3cad-c0d5f2dcb005 I am sceptical if about whether the GPU has properly been configured, is this the best way to check if it has? *The error:* I first noticed this happening when I tried to run the command I usually use to see if everything is fine, the srun command runs only one node, and the only way to stop it if I specify the number of nodes as 3 is to press Ctrl+C: root@server1:~# srun --label --nodes=1 hostname0: server1root@server1:~# ssh server2 "srun --label --nodes=1 hostname"0: server1root@server1:~# ssh server3 "srun --label --nodes=1

Cgroup
by stth 22 Jul '24

Hello, I am configuring cgroups on my server for the first time. I've created a cgroup.conf file in the Slurm directory with the following values: ConstrainCores=yes ConstrainRAMSpace=yes ConstrainSwapSpace=yes AllowedRAMSpace=90 AllowedSwapSpace=10 I feel like this configuration might be incomplete. Can anyone provide assistance? I haven't found any specific guidance online. Thanks!
