We are pleased to announce the availability of Slurm versions 24.11.2 and 24.05.6.
24.11.2 fixes a variety of minor to major bugs. Fixed regressions include loading non-default QOS on pending jobs from pre-24.11 state, pending jobs displaying QOS=(null) when not explicitly requesting a QOS, running jobs that requested multiple partitions potentially having an incorrect partition when slurmctld is restarted, and burst_buffer.lua failing if slurm.conf is in a non-standard location. This release also fixes a few crashes in slurmctld: crashing when a job that can preempt requests --test-only, crasing when the scheduler evaluates a job on nodes with suspended jobs, and crashing due to a long-standing bug causing a job record without job_resrcs.
24.05.6 fixes sattach with auth/slurm, a slurmrestd crash when using data_parser/v0.0.40, a slurmctld crash when using job suspension, a performance regression for RPCs with large amounts of data, and some other moderate severity bugs.
Downloads are available at https://www.schedmd.com/downloads.php .

On the download page the wrong md5sum is displayed for slurm-24.11.2.tar.bz2
regards Markus Köberl
Thank you Markus, I fixed the error and figured out how that happened so it shouldn't happen that way again!
Thanks again, --Tim

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.

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

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,

TIL about the "--now" option to "systemctl enable"... thanks for this one! ;) although I admit to prefer a step-by-step approach (and I'd only enable a unit if it's been successfully started once, to avoid complaints at reboot)...
You wrote that you configured MySQL but didn't mention SlurmDBD config. Does the file that is being complained about exist (on that machine)?
So there seems to be a hole in the guide. Some config is needed?
To be honest, I've been following Ole's detailed setup instructions since Adam and Eve - not the ones directly from the horse's mouth. Whatever, I'd first try to track down that ConditionPathExists issue...
Best, Steffen

The Systemd error message "ConditionPathExists=/etc/slurm/slurmdbd.conf was not met" is a critical error! Check that the file exists and is owned by the user slurm and group slurm, for example:
$ ls -l /etc/slurm/slurmdbd.conf -rw-------. 1 slurm slurm 504 Feb 28 2023 /etc/slurm/slurmdbd.conf
Make sure that you configured slurmdbd.conf correctly, see this Wiki page: https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/Niflheim_system/Slurm_database/#slurmdbd-configura...
IHTH, Ole
