[slurm-users] slurm.conf syntax checker?

[Marcus Wagner]

mostly, our problem was, that we forgot to add/remove a node to/from the partitions/topology file, which caused slurmctld to deny startup. So I wrote a simple checker for that. Here is the output of a sample run:

reading '../conf/rcc/slurm.conf' ...
reading '../conf/rcc/nodes.conf' ...
reading '../conf/rcc/partitions.conf' ...
reading '../conf/rcc/topology.conf' ...
reading '../conf/rcc/gres.conf' ...

[OK]: All nodeweights are correct.

[OK]: All nodes are defined only once.
[OK]: All nodes are used in partitions.
[OK]: There are no nonexisting nodes in the partitions.

[OK]: No nodes seen more than once in topology file.
[OK]: There are no nodes missing in topology.conf
[OK]: All nodes in topology.conf exist in slurm.conf

WARNING: GRES checking not yet implemented.

If someone is interested ...

We then have it reject any changes that cause failure.  It's not perfect but it works.  A real syntax checker would be better.
