[slurm-users] slurm-17.11.3-2 - Redhat Linux 7.2 - Not able to start slurmd.service

[Yogesh Aggarwal]

Thanks Geert for your response. I was able to start slurmd by changing ProctrackType setting to proctrack/linuxproc.


Thanks,

I think you'll be fine with  uncomenting cgroupaautomount=yes in cgoup.conf file.
Could you try it like that?

Hi All,

I am trying to install slurm-17.11.3-2 on Redhat Linux 7.2 system. I have completed the installation and configuration but not able to start slurmd.service. Below are the logs from /var/log/slurmd.log. I have also pasted slurm.conf, cgroup.conf and cgroup_allowed_devices_file.conf for quick reference. I am able to successfully start slurmctld service. Can anyone please guide me on finding the particular settings which is causing this issue?
