Integrate podman to run containers
by amin.raeiszadeh＠gmail.com 08 Aug '24

08 Aug '24

Hello, I have a test cluster consist of two nodes, one as controller and the other as compute node. I followed all the steps from slurm documentation and I want to run jobs as containers but I get the following error when running podman run hello-world on controller node: time="2024-08-06T12:02:54+02:00" level=warning msg="freezer not supported: openat2 /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/slurmstepd.scope/job_332/step_0/user/arlvm6.ara.332.0.0/cgroup.freeze: no such file or directory" srun: error: arlvm6: task 0: Exited with exit code 1 time="2024-08-06T12:02:54+02:00" level=warning msg="lstat /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/slurmstepd.scope/job_332/step_0/user/arlvm6.ara.332.0.0: no such file or directory" time="2024-08-06T12:02:54+02:00" level=error msg="runc run failed: unable to start container process: unable to apply cgroup configuration: rootless needs no limits + no cgrouppath when no permission is granted for cgroups: mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/slurmstepd.scope/job_332/step_0/user/arlvm6.ara.332.0.0: permission denied" As I tracked on the compute node this path exists /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/slurmstepd.scope/ but it looks that could not create the job_332/step_0/user/arlvm6.ara.332.0.0 . The cgroup.conf: CgroupPlugin=cgroup/v2 ConstrainCores=yes ConstrainDevices=yes ConstrainRAMSpace=yes ConstrainSwapSpace=yes It is the oci.conf: EnvExclude="^(SLURM_CONF|SLURM_CONF_SERVER)=" RunTimeEnvExclude="^(SLURM_CONF|SLURM_CONF_SERVER)=" RunTimeQuery="runc --rootless=true --root=/run/user/1223609544/ state %n.%u.%j.%s.%t" RunTimeKill="runc --rootless=true --root=/run/user/1223609544/ kill -a %n.%u.%j.%s.%t SIGKILL" RunTimeDelete="runc --rootless=true --root=/run/user/1223609544/ delete --force %n.%u.%j.%s.%t" RunTimeRun="runc --rootless=true --root=/run/user/1223609544/ run %n.%u.%j.%s.%t -b %b" As you see I changed the kill command a bit because without SIGKILL param it could not kill the containers. I test again the oci run time on both controller and compute nodes and I think might be helpful to mention two points: the delete command will not work because if you kill the container then there is no resource to be deleted at least in my tests. there is no pause and resume in oci.conf but I test them and got the same error for freezer support and cgroup permissions.

Find out submit host of past job?
by Steffen Grunewald 07 Aug '24

07 Aug '24

Hello everyone, I've grepped the manual pages and crawled the 'net, but couldn't find any answer to the following problem: I can see that the ctld keeps a record of it below /var/spool/slurm - as long as the job is running or waiting (and shown by "squeue") - and that this stores the environment that contains SLURM_SUBMIT_HOST - but this information seems to be lost when the job finishes. Is there a way to find out what the value of SLURM_SUBMIT_HOST was? I'd be interested in a few more env variables, but this one should be sufficient for a start... Is "sacct" just lacking a job field, or is this info indeed dropped and not stored in the DB?

"error: slurm_auth_get_host: Lookup failed: Unknown host" in slurmctld.log
by Chris Taylor 07 Aug '24

07 Aug '24

I keep getting this logged on my Slurm control host: [2024-08-06T20:31:40.196] error: slurm_auth_get_host: Lookup failed: Unknown host I don't see an identifiable pattern and I'm not sure how to troubleshoot. The jobs being submitted at or around that time seem fine and nobody's complained about their jobs not running, so I can't track down a bad or nonexistent DNS record. Chris

Hello, When I am running this command: `salloc --nodelist=gpu03 -p A4500_Features --gres=gpu:1` and then automatically ssh to the job, what should I see when I run nvidia-smi? All the GPUs in the host or just a single one? Thanks

_refresh_assoc_mgr_qos_list: no new list given back keeping cached one
by joao.damas＠syngenta.com 05 Aug '24

05 Aug '24

Hi all, We are doing a simple setup for a Slurm cluster (version 23.11.6). We follow the documentation and we are trying a setup still without accounting or slurmdbd. The slurm.conf is really simple: ``` ClusterName=Develop SlurmctldHost=head # Slurm configuration AuthType=auth/munge CryptoType=crypto/munge SlurmctldLogFile=/var/log/slurm/slurmctld.log SlurmctldPidFile=/var/run/slurmctld.pid SlurmctldPort=6817 SlurmdLogFile=/var/log/slurm/slurmd.log SlurmdPidFile=/var/run/slurmd.pid SlurmdPort=6818 SlurmdSpoolDir=/var/spool/slurmd SlurmUser=slurm StateSaveLocation=/var/spool/slurmctld # Nodes NodeName=worker1 CoresPerSocket=2 Sockets=1 ThreadsPerCore=1 NodeName=worker2 CoresPerSocket=2 Sockets=1 ThreadsPerCore=1 # Partitions PartitionName=develop Default=YES MaxTime=UNLIMITED Nodes="worker1,worker2" ``` When running a simple `srun sleep 10`, all works well and the log file shows: [2024-05-15T12:34:12.741] sched: _slurm_rpc_allocate_resources JobId=1 NodeList=worker1 usec=549 [2024-05-15T12:34:22.775] _job_complete: JobId=1 WEXITSTATUS 0 [2024-05-15T12:34:22.775] _job_complete: JobId=1 done But when creating a scrip with the same sleep command, and submiting using `sbatch test.sh`, the log shows: [2024-05-15T12:35:39.916] _slurm_rpc_submit_batch_job: JobId=2 InitPrio=1 usec=368 [2024-05-15T12:35:40.000] error: _refresh_assoc_mgr_qos_list: no new list given back keeping cached one. [2024-05-15T12:35:40.000] sched: JobId=2 has invalid account [2024-05-15T12:35:40.145] sched/backfill: _start_job: Started JobId=2 in develop on worker1 [2024-05-15T12:35:50.172] _job_complete: JobId=2 WEXITSTATUS 0 [2024-05-15T12:35:50.172] _job_complete: JobId=2 done We have the same account with the UID and GID, as said in the documentation. Looking at the function that seems to spit out that error (https://github.com/SchedMD/slurm/blob/e9f28ede27795f525e62f998cb2d40931d884…), it appears like there should be some accounting setup? We do not have slurmdbd setup and the documentation states we should test basic functionality before implementing that daemon. Any tips? Thanks in advance. João

Upgrade node while jobs running

G'day all, I've been waiting for node to become idle before upgrading them however some jobs take a long time. If I try to remove all the packages I assume that kills the slurmstep program and with it the job. Sid
