Any ideas please? because I am out.....
I have tried RHEL9.5, this seemed to run but srun is version 22 and on rocky8 it is version20 so fails.

Have you run id on a computer node?

Hi,
Yes, even ssh works OK.
[root@xxxunicobuildt1 warewulf]# ssh xxxjonesst@xxx.ac.nz@node1 (xxxjonesst@xxx.ac.nz@node1) Password: Last login: Wed Jan 29 01:26:21 2025 from 130.195.87.12 [xxxjonesst@xxx.ac.nz@node1 ~]$

Would there be any relevant changes between RHEL8's slurm and RHEL9's slurm?
[root@node1 ~]# rpm -qa |grep slurm slurm-libs-20.11.9-1.el8.x86_64 slurm-slurmd-20.11.9-1.el8.x86_64 slurm-20.11.9-1.el8.x86_64 [root@node1 ~]#
I would have to go back and check but I do not think I hit this on RHEL9 what I did get was srun ver22 on the RHEL9 server didnt like srun ver20 on the rocky8 node.
Can I compile / rpm build srun ver22 to run on rocky8? or is that part of slurmd?
regards
Steven

Looking at the source code it looks like that second error is reported back by slurmctld when it sends the RPC out to the compute node and it gets a response back, so I would look at what's going on with node4 to see what's being reported there.
All the best, Chris

Looking at the code that seems to come from this code:
if (!_slurm_authorized_user(msg->auth_uid)) { error("Security violation, batch launch RPC from uid %u", msg->auth_uid); rc = ESLURM_USER_ID_MISSING; /* or bad in this case */ goto done; }
and what it is calling is:
/* * Returns true if "uid" is a "slurm authorized user" - i.e. uid == 0 * or uid == slurm user id at this time. */ static bool _slurm_authorized_user(uid_t uid) { return ((uid == (uid_t) 0) || (uid == slurm_conf.slurm_user_id)); }
Is it possible you're trying to run Slurm as a user other than root or the user designated as the "SlurmUser" in your config?
Also check that whoever you have set as the SlurmUser has the same UID everywhere (in fact everyone should do).
All the best, Chris
Hi,
I have never done a HPC before, it is all new to me so I can be making "newbie errors". The old HPC has been dumped on us so I am trying to build it "professionally" shall we say ie documented, stable and I will train ppl to build it (all this with no money at all).
My understanding is a login as a normal user and run a job, and this worked for me last time. It is possible I have missed something,
[xxxjonesst@xxx.ac.nz@xxxunicoslurmd1 ~]$ cat testjob.sh #!/bin/bash # #SBATCH --job-name=test #SBATCH --nodes=1 #SBATCH --ntasks=1 #SBATCH --cpus-per-task=1 #SBATCH --mem=1G #SBATCH --partition=debug #SBATCH --time=00:10:00 #SBATCH --output=%x_%j.out #SBATCH --error=%x_%j.err
echo "Hello World" echo "Hello Error" 1>&2
This worked on a previous setup the outputs were in my home directory on the NFS server as expected.

Steven

No worries at all! It would be good to know what this says:
scontrol show config | fgrep -i slurmuser
If that doesn't say "root" what does the "id" command say for that user on both the system where slurmctld is running and on node4?
Also on the node where slurmctld is running what does this say?
ps auxwww | fgrep slurmctld

It is, but as this check is (I think) happening on the compute node I was wanting to check who slurmctld was running as.
The only other thought I have is what is in the compute nodes slurm.conf as the SlurmUser? I wonder if that's set to root? If so it wouldn't know that the "slurm" user was authorised.
Usually those are in step though. Everything else you've shown seems it be in order.

Slurm.conf is copied between nodes.
Just built 4 x rocky9 nodes and I do not get that error (but I get another I know how to fix, I think) so holistically I am thinking the version difference is too large.

Just double checking. Can you check on your worker node
1. ls -la /etc/pam.d/*slurm*
(just checking if there's a specific pam file for slurmd on your system)
1. scontrol show config | grep -i SlurmdUser
(checking if slurmd is set up with a different user to SlurmUser)
1. grep slurm /etc/passwd

Just double checking. Can you check on your worker node
1. ls -la /etc/pam.d/*slurm*
[root@node5 log]# ls -la /etc/pam.d/*slurm* ls: cannot access '/etc/pam.d/*slurm*': No such file or directory [root@node5 log]#
(just checking if there's a specific pam file for slurmd on your system)
1. scontrol show config | grep -i SlurmdUser
Cannot run it as i attempted in rpmbuild locally and this is failing.
[root@node5 log]# scontrol show config | grep -i SlurmdUser 2. slurm_load_ctl_conf error: Zero Bytes were transmitted or received 3. [root@node5 log]#
(checking if slurmd is set up with a different user to SlurmUser)
1. grep slurm /etc/passwd
root@node5 log]# grep slurm /etc/passwd slurm:x:12002:12002::/home/slurm:/bin/bash slurm:x:12002:12002::/home/slurm:/bin/bash [root@node5 log]#

Oh I think I missed this - when you say version difference do you mean the Slurm version or the distro version?
I was assuming you were building your Slurm versions yourselves for both, but that may be way off the mark, sorry!
What are the Slurm versions everywhere?

Steven,
Looks like you may have had a secondary controller that took over and changed your StateSave files.
IF you don't need the job info AND no jobs are running, you can just rename/delete your StateSaveLocation directory and things will be recreated. Job numbers will start over (unless you set FirstJobId, which you should if you want to keep your sacct data).
It also looks like your logging does not have permissions. Change SlurmctldLogFile to be something like /var/log/slurm/slurmctld.log and set the owner of /var/log/slurm to the slurm user.
Ensure all slurmctld daemons are down, then start the first. Once it is up (you can run scontrol show config) start the second. Run 'scontrol show config' again and you should see both daemons listed as 'up at the end of the output.

Steven, one tip if you are just starting with Slurm: "Use the logs Luke, Use the logs"
By this I mean tail -f /var/log/slurmctl and restart the slurmctld service On a compute node tail -f /var/log/slurmd
Oh, and you probably are going to set up Munge also - which is easy.

Late to the party here, but depending on how much time you have invested, how much you can tolerate reformats or other more destructive work, etc., you might consider OpenHPC and its install guide ([1] for RHEL 8 variants, [2] or [3] for RHEL 9 variants, depending on which version of Warewulf you prefer). I’ve also got some workshop materials on building login nodes, GPU drivers, stateful provisioning, etc. for OpenHPC 3 and Warewulf 3 at [4].
At least in an isolated VirtualBox environment with no outside IdP or other dependencies, my student workers have usually been able to get their first batch job running within a day.

Hi,
Thanks, but isolated isnt the goal in my case. The goal is to save admin time we cant afford and to have a far reaching setup.
So I have to link the HPC to IPA/Idm and on to AD in a trust that way user admins can jsut drop a student or staff member into an AD group and job done. That also means we can use Globus to transfer large lumps of data globally in and out of the HPC.
I have taken your notes as they look interesting for "extras" like I have not looked at making GPUs work yet. If I can get the basics going then I'll look at the icing.

Steven

We only do isolated on the students’ VirtualBox setups because it’s simpler for them to get started with. Our production HPC with OpenHPC is definitely integrated with our Active Directory (directly via sssd, not with an intermediate product), etc. Not everyone does it that way, but our scale is small enough to where we’ve never had a load or other performance issue with our AD.

So I have to link the HPC to IPA/Idm and on to AD in a trust that way user admins can jsut drop a student or staff member into an AD group and job done. That also means we can use Globus to transfer large lumps of data globally in and out of the HPC.
I have taken your notes as they look interesting for "extras" like I have not looked at making GPUs work yet. If I can get the basics going then I'll look at the icing.
regards
Steven

You don't often get email from renfro@tntech.edu. Learn why this is importanthttps://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification
Late to the party here, but depending on how much time you have invested, how much you can tolerate reformats or other more destructive work, etc., you might consider OpenHPC and its install guide ([1] for RHEL 8 variants, [2] or [3] for RHEL 9 variants, depending on which version of Warewulf you prefer). I’ve also got some workshop materials on building login nodes, GPU drivers, stateful provisioning, etc. for OpenHPC 3 and Warewulf 3 at [4].
At least in an isolated VirtualBox environment with no outside IdP or other dependencies, my student workers have usually been able to get their first batch job running within a day.

Hi,
I have never done a HPC before, it is all new to me so I can be making "newbie errors". The old HPC has been dumped on us so I am trying to build it "professionally" shall we say ie documented, stable and I will train ppl to build it (all this with no money at all).
My understanding is a login as a normal user and run a job, and this worked for me last time. It is possible I have missed something,
[xxxjonesst@xxx.ac.nz@xxxunicoslurmd1 ~]$ cat testjob.sh
#!/bin/bash
#
#SBATCH --job-name=test
#SBATCH --nodes=1
#SBATCH --ntasks=1
#SBATCH --cpus-per-task=1
#SBATCH --mem=1G
#SBATCH --partition=debug
#SBATCH --time=00:10:00
#SBATCH --output=%x_%j.out
#SBATCH --error=%x_%j.err
echo "Hello World"
echo "Hello Error" 1>&2
This worked on a previous setup the outputs were in my home directory on the NFS server as expected.
regards
Steven

Looking at the code that seems to come from this code:
if (!_slurm_authorized_user(msg->auth_uid)) { error("Security violation, batch launch RPC from uid %u", msg->auth_uid); rc = ESLURM_USER_ID_MISSING; /* or bad in this case */ goto done; }
and what it is calling is:
/* * Returns true if "uid" is a "slurm authorized user" - i.e. uid == 0 * or uid == slurm user id at this time. */ static bool _slurm_authorized_user(uid_t uid) { return ((uid == (uid_t) 0) || (uid == slurm_conf.slurm_user_id)); }
Is it possible you're trying to run Slurm as a user other than root or the user designated as the "SlurmUser" in your config?
Also check that whoever you have set as the SlurmUser has the same UID everywhere (in fact everyone should do).
All the best, Chris
