[slurm-users] Can't start slurmdbd

[Philip Kovacs]

Try adding this to your conf:
PluginDir=/usr/lib64/slurm

  I did that but got the same errors. slurmdbd.log contains by the way the following: 
 [2017-11-20T12:39:04.178] error: Couldn't find the specified plugin name for accounting_storage/mysql looking at all files
 [2017-11-20T12:39:04.179] error: cannot find accounting_storage plugin for accounting_storage/mysql
 [2017-11-20T12:39:04.179] error: cannot create accounting_storage context for accounting_storage/mysql
 [2017-11-20T12:39:04.179] fatal: Unable to initialize accounting_storage/mysql accounting storage plugin
  
 It seems it lacks the accounting_storage_mysql.so: 
 $ ls /usr/lib64/slurm/accounting_storage_*
 /usr/lib64/slurm/accounting_storage_filetxt.so  /usr/lib64/slurm/accounting_storage_none.so  /usr/lib64/slurm/accounting_storage_slurmdbd.so 
 However, I did install the slurm-sql rpm package. Any idea about what's failing? 
  Thanks

 I've just found out the file `/var/run/slurmdbd.pid` does not even exist.
 
 
  
  The pid file is the "process id" - it's only there if the process is running. So when slurmdbd is not running, it wont be there. Supposedly. Sometimes I do "touch /var/run/slurmdbd.pid" and try again? 
  I've also found that using the host's short name is preferable to localhost. Make sure the host's short name is in /etc/hosts too. 
  hostname -s 
  
  will give you the short name 
  Cheers L.
