I am trying to add slurmdbd to my first attempt of slurmctld.

I have mariadb 10.11 running and permissions set.

MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE slurm_acct_db;

Query OK, 1 row affected (0.000 sec)

MariaDB [(none)]> show databases;

+--------------------+

| Database           |

+--------------------+

| information_schema |

| slurm_acct_db      |

+--------------------+

Following the setup at,  https://slurm.schedmd.com/accounting.html#mysql-configuration

When I try to start slurmdbd it fails.

[root@vuwunicoslurmd3 ~]# systemctl status slurmdbd

? slurmdbd.service - Slurm DBD accounting daemon

     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/slurmdbd.service; disabled; preset: disabled)

     Active: inactive (dead)

[root@vuwunicoslurmd3 ~]# systemctl enable --now slurmdbd

Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/slurmdbd.service ? /usr/lib/systemd/system/slurmdbd.service.

[root@vuwunicoslurmd3 ~]# systemctl status slurmdbd

             ?? ConditionPathExists=/etc/slurm/slurmdbd.conf was not met

Mar 04 00:54:38 vuwunicoslurmd3.ods.vuw.ac.nz systemd[1]: Slurm DBD accounting daemon was skipped because of an unmet co>

[root@vuwunicoslurmd3 ~]#

So there seems to be a hole in the guide.   Some config  is needed?
