[slurm-users] follow-up: [Still broken]CentOS 7 CUDA 8.0 can't find plugin cons_tres

I went back and built the slurm-19.05.6 rpms using:

 rpmbuld -ta slurm-19.05.6.tar.bz2 for slurm-19.05.6. 

It still failed with:

Error: Package: slurm-19.05.6-1.el7.x86_64
	Requires: libnvidia-ml.so.1()(64bit)

Now I remember why I went back to 18.08. It was because this post https://lists.schedmd.com/pipermail/slurm-users/2019-August/003910.html reported the same errors. He said he had no issues with 18.08 and he was looking for using GPU. I guess that's why I thought 18.08 supported cons_tres

I followed the rest of that thread and it follows my issues pretty much the same although AdavancedHPC installed CUDA 8, I assume from the NVIDIA rpm because /etc/yum.repos.d contains a cuda file and looks similar to other machines where I've installed cuda via that method.

It was suggested that he go back to version 10.0 of CUDA because the newer CUDAs don't build links properly but we are back even further than 10 so I figured that must be okay.

libnvidia-ml it there evidenced by ldconfig -p:

libnvidia-ml.so.1 (lib6.x86-64) => /lib64/libnvidia-ml.so.1
libnvidia-ml.so.1 (lib6) => /lib/libnvidia-ml.so.1
libnvidia-ml.so (lib6.x86-64) => /lib64/libnvidia-ml.so
libnvidia-ml.so (lib6) => /lib/libnvidia-ml.so

The gentleman in the thread was going to report back if rolling back to CUDA 10.0 helped him but I never saw another post.

I also found a post about adding some linker switches to slurm.spec before building the rpms but that was for CentOS 8. Even if I add those and rebuild the rpms I get the same error message.


I'm at a loss for what combination I need to make this work.

Wow. I did not catch that version issue. I saw that there were issues with the newest Slurm and how CUDA 10+ installs so I avoided that even though we have CUDA 8. I did have Slurm 19 downloaded so I'm thinking I ran into an issue with that and went back to 18 but now that I have more experience setting it up I'll wipe the 18 install and start over. Fingers crossed for success!

Thanks for your help!

I have a standalone server with 4 GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. The purpose is to serve as a computer server for data science jobs. My department chair wants a job scheduler on it. I have installed SLURM (18.08.9). That works just fine in a basic configuration when I attempt to add Gres_Types gpu and then add Gres:gpu:4 to the end of the node description:


NodeName=cs-datasci CPUs=24 RealMemory=385405 Sockets=2 CoresPerSocket=6 ThreadsPerCore=2 State=UNKNOWN Gres=gpu:4

and then try to restart slurmd I get an error that it cannot find the plugin

slurmd: error: Couldn't find the specified plugin name for select/cons_tres looking at all files

slurmd: error: cannot find select plugin for select/cons_tres

slurmd: fatal: Can't find plugin for select/cons_tres

The system was prebuilt by AdvancedHPC with CentOS 7 and CUDA 8.0

I usually keep notes when I'm installing things but in this case I wasn't jotting things down as I went. I think I started with the instructions on this page: https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fslurm.schedmd.com%2Fquickstart_admin.html&data=02%7C01%7Clweihl%40bgsu.edu%7C7afbebca312c41a1336208d7e2d79a24%7Ccdcb729d51064d7cb75ba30c455d5b0a%7C1%7C0%7C637227287943227195&sdata=ctDmhFUK4Mbm3T9z9Suwz2k9YxNazHbmorSCbNwuP5c%3D&reserved=0 and went with the usual ./configure, make, make install.

I have a feeling maybe something did not work and I switched to the rpm packages based on some other web pages I saw because if I do a yum list installed | grep slurm I see a lot of pacakages. The problem is I was interrupted with other tasks and my memory was somewhat rusty when I came back to this.

When I went looking for this error I saw there were some issues with the newest SLURM and CUDA 10.2 but I didn't think that should be an issue because I was at CUDA 8.0.  Just in case I backed down to SLURM 18.

I'm willing to start all over if anyone thinks cleaning up and rebuilding will help that. I do see libraries in /etc/lib64/slurm but I also see 2 files in /usr/local/lib/slurm/src so I'm not sure if that's left over from trying to install from source.  All the daemons are in /usr/sbin and user commands in /usr/bin

I'm a newbie at this and very frustrated. Can anyone help?

Hi Lisa,

cons_tres is part of Slurm 19.05 and higher. As you are using Slurm 18.08, it won't be there. The select plugin for 18.05 is cons_res.

Is there a reason why you're using an old Slurm?

Can?t speak for everyone, but I went to Slurm 19.05 some months back, and haven't had any problems with CUDA 10.0 or 10.1 (or 8.0, 9.0, or 9.1).
