Hi Ralph,
Andrej - what version of Slurm are you using here?
It's slurm 20.11.3, i.e. the latest release afaik.
But Gilles is correct; the proposed test failed:
andrej@terra:~/system/tests/MPI$ salloc -N 2 -n 2
salloc: Granted job allocation 838
andrej@terra:~/system/tests/MPI$ srun hostname
srun: launch/slurm: launch_p_step_launch: StepId=838.0 aborted before
step completely launched.
srun: Job step aborted: Waiting up to 32 seconds for job step to finish.
srun: error: task 1 launch failed: Unspecified error
srun: error: task 0 launch failed: Unspecified error
Now I'll dig in and try to figure out why slurm is failing. I'll post
the update once I've figured it out so that it may help others who find
themselves in a similar situation. (provided I do figure it out %-))
Guys, my sincere thanks for all your help! I truly appreciate it!!
Cheers,
Andrej
