[slurm-users] Problem launching interactive jobs using srun

[Andy Georges]

Hi,


I am trying to get interactive jobs to work from the machine we use as a login node, i.e., where the users of the cluster log into and from where they typically submit jobs.


I submit the job as follows:

vsc40075 at test2802 (banette) ~> /bin/salloc -N1 -n1 /bin/srun bash -i
salloc: Granted job allocation 41
salloc: Waiting for resource configuration
salloc: Nodes node2801 are ready for job

…
hangs


On node2801, the slurmd log has the following information:


[2018-03-09T18:16:08.820] _run_prolog: run job script took usec=10379

[2018-03-09T18:16:11.907] [41.0] done with job


We are running slurm 17.11.4.


When I change to the same user on both the master node (running slurmctld) and worker nodes (running slurmd), things work just fine. I would assume I need not run slurmd on the login node for this to work?


Any pointers are appreciated,
