[slurm-users] Slurm 19-05-4-1 and Centos8

[Shane Kelly]

Apologies for taking so long to wrap this thread up.

For me, slurm 19-05.4.1 builds correctly with Philip Kovacs mod to the
spec file (see below).
It installs and runs (after providing some massaging to the RH/Centos
specific config locations/bits*) and I now have it installed with
accounting on five nodes of our test cluster, and all appears well.

Many thanks to all who contribute to this mailing list.


Kind Regards,
Shane Kelly


* Centos8 config/install bits (from memory)
/var/run will not allow slurm to write a pid there, so I put a
directory for all the slurm{d|ctld|dbd} PIDS under /var/run/. Don't
forget to add a .conf file to  /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/ to make your folder
persist over a reboot. I copied the munge one, suitably edited.

The systemd service files are hardwired to write pids to /var/run, so
they need altering to reflect the /var/run/slurm path that I use.

Hope this helps.
