Hi,
Among other clusters, I have a simple cluster with 2 nodes, running slurm.
1 node runs : mysqld, slurmdbd, slurmctld and slurmd. The other node, only runs slurmd. Slurm config is in node1: /etc/slurm. A copy of the config is in node2:/etc/slurm. This slurm configuration runs ok. But, as I am normally used to configure on a shared location, where there is only 1 copy of the config, I tried to change the current setup by moving the slurm-config to a shared (NFS) disk.
So on both nodes : /etc/slurm -> nfs-server:/shared/etc/slurm
But, I have tried several ways... The slurmctld and slurmd daemons will not start when I refer to this "nfs-shared" location.
Any ideas what is missing here ? Authorizations seem ok.
We have
$ ll -d /etc/slurm lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Feb 4 2019 /etc/slurm -> /trinity/shared/etc/slurm
and this works for us. Are you also using a link or actually trying to specify the NSF folder itself somewhere?
BTW, I think this kind of setup has been made obsolete by "Configless" Slurm:
