[slurm-users] SLURM on Ubuntu 16.04

[Eric F. Alemany]

Hi Patrick,

I am going to follow your suggestion to install slurm via ubuntu 18.04 package. I am waiting for the final release of 18.04 which i believe is tomorrow.
As you mentioned I will install:

the slurmctld package on the SMS (the master)
the slurmd package on the nodes

I know there will be some other configuration i would still need to do like the slurm.conf file. The slurm.conf needs to be the same on all nodes including the master.
And then there is the database configuration as well.

Hi Eric -

Did you follow my suggestion of -- on 18.04, mind you; the packages on 16.04 are too old --

 - Install the slurmctld package on the SMS (the master)
 - Install the slurmd package on the nodes?

You'll still need to do some configuration, but my guess is this will pull in the necessary dependencies and set everything up for you.

Hi John,
Thank you for your reply.
I followed the steps on the same site and am careful with all the steps but i still cannot make it work. Some people say that Ubuntu has packages for SLURM and i dont have to deal with downloading tar ball and make sure that all the files go to the right place.
Thanks

   I would also recommend this guide, it helped quite a bit when
   getting my personal cluster online.

   One recommendation is to have ntp, shared storage for home
   directories, and LDAP so user ids are synced across machines.

   Greetings,

   New to the forum and new to SLURM. I have 5 servers. 1 can be the
   master/headnode and 4 can be the compute node. My goal is to help
   a post-doc run “jobs” on the cluster and utilizing all the CPU’s
   and RAM from the 4 compute nodes. The post-doc runs radiation
   Monte Carlo simulation, RNA/DNA sequencing, DESEQ..etc
   I understand this is a very general question and i am sure there
   is a lot to take in consideration but if someone could guide
   through simple steps on how to install and configure SLURM on
   ubuntu for 1 master/headnode and 4 compute nodes I would be very
   grateful.
   Thank you for your time and help.

   Best,
   Eric
