[slurm-users] [slurm 17.02] select/cray plugin from non-crays

[Andrew Elwell]

Hi folks,

We've just upgraded to slurm 17.02.9 (native) on our Crays, but can't
get sinfo to work on them anymore from a non-cray

"sinfo: error: Cluster 'galaxy' has an unknown select plugin_id 108"

On the Crays we have
aelwell at galaxy-int:~/testjobs/native$ grep -i select /etc/opt/slurm/slurm.conf
SelectType=select/cray
SelectTypeParameters=CR_ONE_TASK_PER_CORE,CR_CORE_Memory,other_cons_res
aelwell at galaxy-int:~/testjobs/native$

and on the non-cray node I'm trying to get working (an admin node we
use for monitoring the job Qs across the site)

    normal

hpc-admin2:~ # sinfo -M galaxy
sinfo: error: Cluster 'galaxy' has an unknown select plugin_id 108
sinfo: error: 'galaxy' can't be reached now, or it is an invalid entry
for --cluster.  Use 'sacctmgr list clusters' to see available
clusters.

Is there a workaround to get non-crays talking to cray slurmctlds?


Many thanks,
Andrew
