error: Unable to contact slurm controller (connect failure)
by Daniel Rodriguez Lopez (ext) 19 Nov '24

19 Nov '24

Dear all, We recently tried to fix our version of slurm in every node of our cluster. After the instalation (slurm 20.11.9) in one of the compute nodes, most of the commads (squeue, sinfo, scontrol show config etc) returns this error: error: Unable to contact slurm controller (connect failure) The .log files don't show any errors, we have both debugs values equal to debug5. Also, the rest of the cluster works as usual. I appreciate any insight on what could be the cause. Thank you and regards, Daniel

Listen to job state changes
by egonle＠posteo.me 18 Nov '24

18 Nov '24

Hello, is there any way to listen to job state changes of slurm 23.x or newer? I’d like to kind of subscribe to job state changes instead of polling for job states. Adding this feature to slurm accounting DB seems to be last option right now, although I’d like to avoid it. Thanks&Best Egonle

How to power up all ~idle nodes and verify that they have started up without issue programmatically
by Xaver Stiensmeier 15 Nov '24

15 Nov '24

Dear Slurm User list, I would like to startup all ~idle (idle and powered down) nodes and check programmatically if all came up as expected. For context: this is for a program that sets up slurm clusters with on demand cloud scheduling. In the most easiest fashion this could be executing a command like *srun FORALL hostname* which would return the names of the nodes if it succeeds and an error message otherwise. However, there's no such input value like FORALL as far as I am aware. One could use -N{total node number} as all nodes are ~idle when this executes, but I don't know an easy way to get the total number of nodes. Best regards, Xaver

First setup of slurm with a GPU node
by Patrick Begou 13 Nov '24

13 Nov '24

Hi, I'm using slurm on a small 8 nodes cluster. I've recently added one GPU node with two Nvidia A100, one with 40Gb of RAM and one with 80Gb. As using this GPU resource increase I would like to manage this resource with Gres to avoid usage conflict. But at this time my setup do not works as I can reach a GPU without reserving it: srun -n 1 -p tenibre-gpu ./a.out can use a GPU even if the reservation do not specify this resource (checked with running nvidia-smi on the node). "tenibre-gpu" is a slurm partition with only this gpu node. From the documentation I've created a gres.conf file and it is propagated on all the nodes (9 compute nodes, 1 login node and the management node) and slurmd has been restarted. gres.conf is:* ## GPU setup on tenibre-gpu-0 NodeName=tenibre-gpu-0 Name=gpu Type=A100-40 File=/dev/nvidia0 Flags=nvidia_gpu_env NodeName=tenibre-gpu-0 Name=gpu Type=A100-80 File=/dev/nvidia1 Flags=nvidia_gpu_env * * In slurm.conf I have checked these flags: ## Basic scheduling SelectTypeParameters=CR_Core_Memory SchedulerType=sched/backfill SelectType=select/cons_tres ## Generic resources GresTypes=gpu ## Nodes list .... Nodename=tenibre-gpu-0 RealMemory=257270 Sockets=2 CoresPerSocket=16 ThreadsPerCore=1 State=UNKNOWN .... #partitions PartitionName=tenibre-gpu MaxTime=48:00:00 DefaultTime=12:00:00 DefMemPerCPU=4096 MaxMemPerCPU=8192 Shared=YES State=UP Nodes=tenibre-gpu-0 ... May be I've missed something ? I'm running Slurm 20.11.7-1. Thanks for your advices. Patrick

Slurm and NVIDIA NVML
by Matthias Leopold 13 Nov '24

13 Nov '24

Hi, I'm trying to compile Slurm with NVIDIA NVML support, but the result is unexpected. I get /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/slurm/gpu_nvml.so, but when I do "ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/slurm/gpu_nvml.so" there is no reference to /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnvidia-ml.so.1 (which I would expect). ~$ ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/slurm/gpu_nvml.so linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd9a3f4000) libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f0bc2c06000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f0bc2e47000) /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnvidia-ml.so.1 is present during compilation. Also I can see that NVML headers where found in config.status (else I wouldn't get gpu_nvml.so at all to my understanding). Our old cluster was deployed with NVIDIA deepops (which compiles Slurm on every node) and also has NVML support. There ldd brings the expected result ~$ ldd /usr/local/lib/slurm/gpu_nvml.so ... libnvidia-ml.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnvidia-ml.so.1 (0x00007f3b10120000) ... I can't test actual functionality with my new binaries because I don't have a node with GPUs yet. Am I missing something? thank you Matthias

Slurm release candidate version 24.11.0rc1 available for testing
by Marshall Garey 12 Nov '24

12 Nov '24

We are pleased to announce the availability of Slurm release candidate 24.11.0rc1. To highlight some new features coming in 24.11: - New gpu/nvidia plugin. This does not rely on any NVIDIA libraries, and will build by default on all systems. It supports basic GPU detection and management, but cannot currently identify GPU-to-GPU links, or provide usage data as these are not exposed by the kernel driver. - Add autodetected GPUs to the output from "slurmd -C". - Added new QOS-based reports to "sreport". - Revamped network I/O with the "conmgr" thread-pool model. - Added new "hostlist function" syntax for management commands and configuration files. - switch/hpe_slingshot - Added support for hardware collectives setup through the fabric manager. (Requires SlurmctldParameters=enable_stepmgr) - Added SchedulerParameters=bf_allow_magnetic_slot configuration option to allow backfill planning for magnetic reservations. - Added new "scontrol listjobs" and "liststeps" commands to complement "listpids", and provide --json/--yaml output for all three subcommands. - Allow jobs to be submitted against multiple QOSes. - Added new experimental "oracle" backfill scheduling support, which permits jobs to be delayed if the oracle function determines the reduced fragmentation of the network topology is sufficiently advantageous. - Improved responsiveness of the controller when jobs are requeued by replacing the "db_index" identifier with a slurmctld-generated unique identifier. ("SLUID") - New options to job_container/tmpfs to permit site-specific scripts to modify the namespace before user steps are launched, and to ensure all steps are completely captured within that namespace. This is the first release candidate of the upcoming 24.11 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 24.11.x version and we will address them before the first production 24.11.0 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/ . Slurm can be downloaded from https://www.schedmd.com/downloads.php . -- Marshall Garey Release Management, Support, and Development SchedMD LLC - Commercial Slurm Development and Support

Container Problems with various oci.conf settings
by Jason Pascucci 12 Nov '24

12 Nov '24

Hi, I'm running on Ubuntu 20.04. I've got a clean configuration of slurmctld and slurmd on one node. 1) I've configured oci.conf to the defaults defined by "OCI.CONF EXAMPLE FOR RUNC USING RUN (RECOMMENDED OVER USING CREATE/START):". I have a container that I can run by hand: runc --rootless true run -b /opt/pilot_results/results.20241108-184831/step1 test sh-4.2# exit exit and it returns. However, when I srun --container=/opt/pilot_results/results.20241108-184831/step1 ls it hangs after completing the ls, and I have to double ctrl-c out of it. 2) I tried using the configuration for RUNC with Create/Start and it hangs on start. 3) I tried using the configuration for CRUN using RUN, I can run the container by hand with crun, but srun fails with: srun --container=/opt/pilot_results/results.20241108-194914/step1 bash bind socket to `/run/user/1008//pd-builds-bench-1.jrp.34.0.0/notify`: Address already in use sync socket closed srun: error: pd-builds-bench-1: task 0: Exited with exit code 1 4) I tried using the configuration for CRUN with Create/Start and it errors repeatedly with: slurmstepd: error: _get_container_state: RunTimeQuery failed rc:256 output:error opening file `/run/user/1008//pd-builds-bench-1.jrp.51.0.0/status`: No such file or directory I went through the (open and closed) support tickets and couldn't find anything that reflects any of these errors, and I'm pretty stuck at this point. Any help would be welcome. Thanks, JRP

slurmctld keeps segfaulting, possibly during or just after backfill
by Marcus Lauer 12 Nov '24

12 Nov '24

We are running into a problem where slurmctld is segfaulting a few times a day. We had this problem with SLURM 23.11.8 and now with 23.11.10 as well, though the problem only appears on one of the several SLURM clusters we have, and all of them use one of those versions of SLURM. I was wondering if anyone has encountered a similar issue and has any thoughts on how to prevent this. Obviously we use "SchedulerType=sched/backfill" but strangely when I switched to sched/builtin for a while there were still slurmctld segfaults. We also set "SchedulerParameters=enable_user_top,bf_max_job_test=2000". I have tried turning those off but it did not help. I have also tried tweaking several other settings to no avail. Most of the cluster runs Rocky Linux 8.10 (including the slurmctld system) though we still have some Scientific Linux 7.9 compute nodes (we compile SLURM separately for those). Here is the crash-time error from journalctl: Oct 02 06:31:20 our.host.name kernel: sched_agent[2048355]: segfault at 8 ip 00007fec755d7ea8 sp 00007fec6bffe7e8 error 4 in libslurmfull.so[7fec7555a000+1f4000] Oct 02 06:31:20 our.host.name kernel: Code: 48 39 c1 7e 19 48 c1 f8 06 ba 01 00 00 00 48 d3 e2 48 f7 da 48 0b 54 c6 10 48 21 54 c7 10 c3 b8 00 00 00 00 eb da 48 8b 4f 08 <48> 39 4e 08 48 0f 4e 4e 08 49 89 c9 48 83 f9 3f 76 4e ba 40 00 00 Oct 02 06:31:20 our.host.name systemd[1]: Started Process Core Dump (PID 2169426/UID 0).

Slurmctld could be failing at the end of backfill or when doing something which happens just after backfill runs. Usually this is the last message before the crash: [2024-09-25T18:39:42.076] slurmscriptd: debug: _slurmscriptd_mainloop: finished If anyone has any thoughts or advice on this that would be appreciated. Thank you. -- Marcus Lauer Systems Administrator CETS Group, Research Support
