Re: Location of Slurm source packages?

Jeff, I'm not sure what version is in the Ubuntu packages, as I don't think they're provided by SchedMD, and I'm having trouble finding the right one on packages.ubuntu.com. Having said that, SchedMD is pretty good about using tags in their github repo (https://github.com/schedmd/slurm), to represent the releases. For example, the "slurm-23-11-6-1" tag corresponds to release 23.11.6. It's pretty straightforward to clone the repo, and do something like "git checkout -b MY_LOCAL_BRANCH_NAME TAG_NAME" to get the version you're after.

Jeff, Dang. That's really old. I'm not sure I would run one that old, to be honest. Too many missing security fixes and added features. It's never been that hard to do a 'git clone' and the normal configure/make/make install process with slurm. Someone else made me aware of this, in case it's easier: https://slurm.schedmd.com/quickstart_admin.html#debuild Lloyd On 5/15/24 08:57, Jeffrey Layton wrote: > Lloyd, > > Good to hear from you!

Job Invalid Account

We installed slurm 23.11.5 and we are receiving "JobId=n has invalid account" for every sbatch job. We are not using the slurm accounting/user database; we are using uniform UIDs and GIDs across the cluster. The jobs run and complete; can these invalid account errors be ignored or silenced?

Slurm Cleaning Up $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR Before It Should?
by Arnuld 15 May '24

15 May '24

I am using the latest slurm. It runs fine for scripts. But if I give it a container then it kills it as soon as I submit the job. Is slurm cleaning up the $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR before it should?

Slurm release candidate version 24.05.0rc1 available for testing
by Marshall Garey 14 May '24

14 May '24

We are pleased to announce the availability of Slurm release candidate 24.05.0rc1. To highlight some new features coming in 24.05: - (Optional) isolated Job Step management. Enabled on a job-by-job basis with the --stepmgr option, or globally through SlurmctldParameters=enable_stepmgr. - Federation - Allow for client command operation while SlurmDBD is unavailable. - New MaxTRESRunMinsPerAccount and MaxTRESRunMinsPerUser QOS limits. - New USER_DELETE reservation flag. - New Flags=rebootless option on Features for node_features/helpers which indicates the given feature can be enabled without rebooting the node. - Cloud power management options: New "max_powered_nodes=<limit>" option in SlurmctldParamters, and new SuspendExcNodes=<nodes>:<count> syntax allowing for <count> nodes out of a given node list to be excluded. - StdIn/StdOut/StdErr now stored in SlurmDBD accounting records for batch jobs. - New switch/nvidia_imex plugin for IMEX channel management on NVIDIA systems. - New RestrictedCoresPerGPU option at the Node level, designed to ensure GPU workloads always have access to a certain number of CPUs even when nodes are running non-GPU workloads concurrently. This is the first release candidate of the upcoming 24.05 release series, and represents the end of development for this release, and a finalization of the RPC and state file formats. If any issues are identified with this release candidate, please report them through https://bugs.schedmd.com against the 24.05.x version and we will address them before the first production 24.05.0 release is made. Please note that the release candidates are not intended for production use. A preview of the updated documentation can be found at https://slurm.schedmd.com/archive/slurm-master/ .

Submitting from an untrusted node
by Rike-Benjamin Schuppner 14 May '24

14 May '24

Hi, If I understand it correctly, the MUNGE and SACK authentication modules naturally require that no-one can get access to the key. This means that we should not use our normal workstations to which our users have physical access to run any jobs, nor could our users use the workstations to submit jobs to the compute nodes. They would have to ssh to a specific submit node and only then could they schedule their jobs. Is there an elegant way to enable job submission from any computer (possibly requiring that users type their password for the submit node – or to their ssh key – at some point)? (All computers/users use the same LDAP server for logins.) Best /rike

any way to allow interactive jobs or ssh in Slurm 23.02 when node is draining?
by Robert Kudyba 13 May '24

13 May '24

We use Bright Cluster Manager with SLurm 23.02 on RHEL9. I know about pam_slurm_adopt https://slurm.schedmd.com/pam_slurm_adopt.html which does not appear to come by default with the Bright 'cm' package of Slurm. Currently ssh to a node gets: Login not allowed: no running jobs and no WLM allocations We have 8 GPUs on a node so when we drain a node, which can have up to a 5 day job, no new jobs can run. And since we have 20+ TB (yes TB) local drives, researchers have their work and files on them to retrieve. Is there a way to use /etc/security/access.conf to work around this at least temporarily until the reboot and then we can revert? Thanks! Rob

srun launched mpi job occasionally core dumps
by Henderson, Brent 10 May '24

10 May '24

Greetings Slurm gurus -- I've been having an issue where very occasionally an srun launched OpenMPI job launched will die during startup within MPI_Init(). E.g. srun -N 8 --ntasks-per-node=1 ./hello_world_mpi. Same binary launched with mpirun does not experience the issue. E.g. mpirun -n 64 -H cn01,... ./hello_world_mpi. The failure rate seems to be in the 0.5% - 1.0% range when using srun for launch. SW stack is self-built with: * Dual socket AMD nodes * RHEL 9.3 base system + tools * Single 100 Gb card per host * hwloc 2.9.3 * pmix 4.2.9 (5.0.2 also tried but continued to see the same issues) * slurm 23.11.6 (started with 23.11.5 - update did not change the behavior) * openmpi 5.0.3 The MPI code is a simple hello_world_mpi.c - anything that goes through startup via srun - does not seem to matter. Application core dump looks like the following regardless of the test running: [cn04:1194785] *** Process received signal *** [cn04:1194785] Signal: Segmentation fault (11) [cn04:1194785] Signal code: Address not mapped (1) [cn04:1194785] Failing at address: 0xe0 [cn04:1194785] [ 0] /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x54db0)[0x7f54e6254db0] [cn04:1194785] [ 1] /share/openmpi/5.0.3/lib/libmpi.so.40(mca_pml_ob1_recv_frag_callback_match+0x7d)[0x7f54e67eab3d] [cn04:1194785] [ 2] /share/openmpi/5.0.3/lib/libopen-pal.so.80(+0xa7d8c)[0x7f54e6566d8c] [cn04:1194785] [ 3] /lib64/libevent_core-2.1.so.7(+0x21b88)[0x7f54e649cb88] [cn04:1194785] [ 4] /lib64/libevent_core-2.1.so.7(event_base_loop+0x577)[0x7f54e649e7a7] [cn04:1194785] [ 5] /share/openmpi/5.0.3/lib/libopen-pal.so.80(+0x222af)[0x7f54e64e12af] [cn04:1194785] [ 6] /share/openmpi/5.0.3/lib/libopen-pal.so.80(opal_progress+0x85)[0x7f54e64e1365] [cn04:1194785] [ 7] /share/openmpi/5.0.3/lib/libmpi.so.40(ompi_mpi_init+0x46d)[0x7f54e663ce7d] [cn04:1194785] [ 8] /share/openmpi/5.0.3/lib/libmpi.so.40(MPI_Init+0x5e)[0x7f54e66711ae] [cn04:1194785] [ 9] /home/brent/bin/ior-3.0.1/ior[0x403780] [cn04:1194785] [10] /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x3feb0)[0x7f54e623feb0] [cn04:1194785] [11] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0x80)[0x7f54e623ff60] [cn04:1194785] [12] /home/brent/bin/ior-3.0.1/ior[0x4069d5] [cn04:1194785] *** End of error message *** More than one rank can die with the same stacktrace on a node when this happens - I've seen as many as 6. One other interesting note is that if I change my srun command line to include strace (e.g. srun -N 8 --ntasks-per-node=8 strace <strace-options> ./hello_world_mpi) the issue appears to go away. 0 failures in ~2500 runs. Another thing that seems to help is to disabling cgroups in the slurm.conf. After the change, saw 0 failures in >6100 hello_world_mpi runs. The changes in the slurm.conf were - original: ProctrackType=proctrack/cgroup TaskPlugin=task/cgroup,task/affinity JobAcctGatherType=jobacct_gather/cgroup Changed ProctrackType=proctrack/linuxproc TaskPlugin=task/affinity JobAcctGatherType=jobacct_gather/linux My cgroup.conf file contains: ConstrainCores=yes ConstrainDevices=yes ConstrainRAMSpace=yes ConstrainSwapSpace=yes AllowedRamSpace=95 Curious is anyone has any thoughts on next steps to help figure out what might be going on and how to resolve it. Currently, I'm planning to back down to the 23.02.7 release and see how that goes but open to other suggestions. Thanks, Brent
