Unable to receive password reminder
by Loris Bennett 14 Jan '25

14 Jan '25

Hi, Over a week ago I sent the message below to the address I found for the list owner, but have not received a response. Does anyone know how to proceed in this case? Cheers, Loris -------------------- Start of forwarded message -------------------- From: Loris Bennett <loris.bennett(a)fu-berlin.de> To: <slurm-users-owner(a)lists.schedmd.com> Subject: Unable to receive password reminder Date: Mon, 6 Jan 2025 08:35:42 +0100 Dear list owner, I have recently switched from reading the list via mail to using the mail to news gateway at news.gmane.io. Therefore I would like change my mailman settings in order to stop delivery of postings via mail. As I have forgotten my list password, I requested a reminder. However I get the reply that no user with the given email address was found in the user database. The addresses I tried were loris.bennett(a)fu-berlin.de loris(a)zedat.fu-berlin.de the former being an alias for the latter. This is the email account which to which emails from the list are sent, so I am somewhat confused as to why the neither of the addresses is recognised. Could you please help me to resolve this issue?

Environment Variables per Queue
by Vitorio Cargnini 14 Jan '25

14 Jan '25

Hello, Can environment variables be set up based on a specific queue? How do I set up the environment variables for a given queue? Like we are deploying SLURM to control our jobs of simulation using VCS, and we don't want to make public the LM_LICENSE environment variable to all users. So we would like to set it on the queue once a job is started on that queue would have that environment variable. Regards, Vitorio

Discrepancy in TmpDisk values between scontrol and sinfo in Slurm24.05.3
by Gizo Nanava 11 Jan '25

11 Jan '25

There seems to be an issue with the TmpDisk value reporting in Slurm 24.05.3. While the correct value is displayed using the scontrol show nodes command, sinfo appears to report an incorrect value under certain conditions. For example, the TmpDisk parameter for my compute nodes is configured as 21800000 (21.8 TB) in slurm.conf, and this value is shown correctly with > scontrol show nodes ai-n007 ...... State=MIXED ThreadsPerCore=1 TmpDisk=21800000 Weight=1 Owner=N/A MCS_label=N/A .... However, when using the sinfo command with the -O Disk:20 option, the displayed value is 2180000, which is an order of magnitude lower: > sinfo -hO Disk:20 -n ai-n007 2180000 It appears that sinfo might be truncating or misinterpreting values with 8 or more digits. Has anyone encountered a similar issue? Is this a known bug in Slurm 24.05.3? Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Gizo

Power saving is getting disabled in Slurm

Hello, We are enabling global power saving for slurm. This is our config. But we are experiencing an issue where Slurm is talking nodes out of power saving mode.

Unexpected node got allocation
by Dan Healy 09 Jan '25

09 Jan '25

Hello there and good morning from Baltimore. I have a small cluster with 100 nodes. When the cluster is completely empty of all jobs, the first job gets allocated to node 41. In other clusters, the first job gets allocated to mode 01. If I specify node 01, the allocation works perfectly. I have my partition NodeName set as node[01-99], so having node41 used first is a surprise to me. We also have many other partitions which start with node41, but the partition being used for the allocation starts with node01. Does anyone know what would cause this? Thanks, Daniel Healy

need help with seff script on ubuntu (slurm 21.08)
by Gérard Henry (AMU) 09 Jan '25

09 Jan '25

Hello all and happy new year, i have installed slurm 21.08 on ubuntu 22 LTS, and database for accounting on a remote machine running same release. I got seff from: https://support.schedmd.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1611 but, there are errors: Use of uninitialized value $ncpus in numeric eq (==) at /usr/bin/seff line 72, <DATA> line 602. Use of uninitialized value $lmem in numeric lt (<) at /usr/bin/seff line 109, <DATA> line 602. Job ID: 14 Cluster: cathena2 Use of uninitialized value $user in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/bin/seff line 126, <DATA> line 602. does anyone have a more recent version? i try to enable debug uncommenting the line: 60c60 < #print Dumper($job); --- > print Dumper($job); but it's strange, because if you run the seff command several times in a row, the dump result is very different, even though the job has been completed. It doesn't change the most important values, but how is it possible not to have the same output?

formatting node names
by Davide DelVento 07 Jan '25

07 Jan '25

Hi all, I remember seeing on this list a slurm command to change a slurm-friendly list such as gpu[01-02],node[03-04,12-22,27-32,36] into a bash friendly list such as gpu01 gpu02 node03 node04 node12 etc I made a note about it but I can't find my note anymore, nor the relevant message. Can someone please refresh my memory? I'll be more careful with such a note this time, I promise! Thanks and happy new year!

Change config file location of slurmdbd temporarily
by Sven Schulze 07 Jan '25

07 Jan '25

Hey all, Is there a way to change the location of the slurmdbd.conf temporarily when starting slurmdbd? For all other daemons I can specify "-f", but this doesn't seem to work for slurmdbd, is there a way to edit the build files to achieve this? Kind Regards, Sven
