slurm-web安装

http://edf-hpc.github.io/slurm-web/installation.html https://github.com/edf-hpc/slurm-web

slurm-web只支持docker或debian/ubuntu安装. 但它只包括一个dashboard和一个flask的wsgi程序, 可以自己实现代替.

Enable Accounting (2022/1/6)

需要启动slurmDBD(database daemon). 在/etc/slurm里增加了配置文件slurmdbd.conf, 修改了slurm.conf, 用root登录mySQL新建数据库slurm_acct_db并grant给slurmLog账号权限, 以后accounting information都写入这个database中. 经验: debug时看log信息(/var/log).

Reference: 两个conf文件: https://slurm.schedmd.com/slurmdbd.conf.html, https://slurm.schedmd.com/slurm.conf.html Accounting: https://slurm.schedmd.com/accounting.html

TODO

需求:

• 邮件,
• PAM,
• 用户用量限制 resource limit, sacctmgr

(2022/05/25) 修改了slurm.conf: PartitionName=partition Nodes=bigMem[0-1] MaxTime=3-0 DefaultTime=1-0 Default=YES State=UP

其它注意事项

reboot后必做

1. 节点会自动down, 通过如下命令使节点重新工作: sudo scontrol update nodename=bigMem0 state=idle.
2. 重新挂载/home! sudo mount loginNode:/home /home.

Useful DEBUG tips

看节点出问题的原因, sinfo -R 或者 scontrol show node bigMem0. 通常需要到/var/log/slurmd.log里看错误的具体原因.

sudo scontrol update nodename=bigMem0 state=idle

DEBUG: scontrol show config查看config. scontrol setdebug 9把debug开到最高等级. scontrol update <SPECIFICATION>修改某个配置. 官网建议: It may be desirable to execute the show command on the specific entity you want to update, then use cut-and-paste tools to enter updated configuration values to the update.

DEBUG结束: scontrol reconfigure清除掉之前临时改的设置: Instruct all Slurm daemons to re-read the configuration file. This command does not restart the daemons and does not stop the running jobs.
