Hello,
yes, you need to configure the SlurmDBD daemon:
https://slurm.schedmd.com/slurmdbd.html https://slurm.schedmd.com/slurmdbd.conf.html
Accounting setup (enforcing limits for example) requires the database, but some additional steps are also required to get the whole system working.
Systemd service is not starting because the configuration file is missing:
ConditionPathExists=/etc/slurm/slurmdbd.conf
Kind regards,
