slum job sumisison using different UID/GID
by navin srivastava 02 Apr '25

02 Apr '25

Hi, Can munge depend upon the UID/GID for the job submission? There is a scenario where the cluster is running with the NIS authentication mechanism. There is a login Node created which is part of LDAP and we installed the slurm to interact with slurm master. I am able to run jobs using root but for users it is not working as the UID/GID differ. Is there a way we can overcome this issue? and be able to run jobs. Rehards Navin

slurm releases
by Patrick Begou 01 Apr '25

Hi slurm team, I would ask some clarifications with slurm releases. Why two versions of slurm are available ? I speak of 24.05.7 versus 24.11.3 on https://www.schedmd.com/slurm-support/release-announcements and announces made on this list ? I'm managing small clusters in a french public research lab and I've successfully updated (lets says re-installed as it was very old) an old one with slurm-24.05.3 some month ago. Now I'm trying to deploy a second cluster with the same approach and I've selected 24.11.3-1 (but why not using 24.05.7 ?). Moreover I have some difficulties for deploying 24.11.3 : I've built the rpm with: rpmbuild \ --define '_prefix /usr' \ --with pmix --with ucx --with mysql --with hwloc \ -ta slurm-24.11.3.tar.bz2 but some packages wont install: $ dnf list --showduplicates slurm-slurmd Last metadata expiration check: 0:33:15 ago on Tue Apr 1 18:03:07 2025. Available Packages slurm-slurmd.x86_64 24.11.3-1.el9 bb-local $ sudo dnf install slurm-slurmd Last metadata expiration check: 0:33:03 ago on Tue Apr 1 18:03:25 2025. Error: Problem: conflicting requests - nothing provides is needed by slurm-slurmd-24.11.3-1.el9.x86_64 from bb-local - nothing provides installed needed by slurm-slurmd-24.11.3-1.el9.x86_64 from bb-local - nothing provides not needed by slurm-slurmd-24.11.3-1.el9.x86_64 from bb-local (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages) I think I will try to build 24.05.7 or 24.05.3 as a next try but I'm interested in any advices. Thank you Patrick
