[slurm-users] SlurmDBD setup with mysql

[Sajesh Singh]

Fixed the problem. I had an incorrect config the slurm.conf needed the following entry and all now works as expected:

AccountingStoragePort=7031

Our clustername does not have a "-" but the hostname does. Does the slurmdbd accounting try to create a table name based on the hostname or clustername only?

Not Sure if this is related but we ran into an issue configuring accounting because our clustername had a '-'  in the name .  This  is an illegal character for table names in mariadb, or used to be.

    The DBD daemon starts up without error as can be seen from the logs:
     
    Slurmdbd.log:

    Though in the slurmctld.log file I am seeing the following:

    I do restart all services in the order of munge, dbd, slurmctld after config changes.
     
    The relevant configs are as follows:

    We are running Slurm 18.04 on CentOS 7 with MariaDB as the backend.
