Re: [slurm-users] Upgrading SLURM from 18 to 20.11.9

The oversight is perhaps understandable, since for most software, a given version XX.YY would be major version XX, minor version YY. But with Slurm it’s major version XX.YY and minor is XX.YY.zz On Thu, Sep 8, 2022 at 2:43 PM Ole Holm Nielsen wrote: > Paul is right! You may upgrade 18.08 to 2

Re: [slurm-users] can a job run across partition in slurm

No, however a node can reside in multiple partitions. So if you add those nodes to the partition they are running in, they will be available to them. Brian Andrus On 9/8/2022 11:38 AM, Purvesh Parmar wrote: We require more nodes to run a single job which requires more nodes than present in

Paul is right! You may upgrade 18.08 to 20.02, but not 20.11! Some details on upgrading Slurm is in this Wiki page: https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/niflheim/Slurm_installation#upgrading-slurm /Ole On 08-09-2022 18:26, Paul Edmon wrote: But not any 20.  There are 20 versions, 20.02 and 20.11, and the

We require more nodes to run a single job which requires more nodes than present in HMEM partition. We have other partition XEON . Can a user run a single job across both partitions? We are using slurm 21 Thanks & Regards, Purvesh

Re: [slurm-users] Upgrading SLURM from 18 to 20.11.9

But not any 20.  There are 20 versions, 20.02 and 20.11, and there was a previous 19.05.  So two versions for 18.08 would be 20.02 not 20.11 -Paul Edmon- On 9/8/22 12:14 PM, Wadud Miah wrote: The previous version was 18 and now I am trying to upgrade to 20, so I am well within 2 major versio

Re: [slurm-users] Upgrading SLURM from 18 to 20.11.9

Perhaps there is a node that you don't have access to that's trying to access your slurmdDB. That's the scenario that occurred in the forum posting I linked to previously: https://groups.google.com/g/slurm-users/c/YB55Ru9rvD4

Re: [slurm-users] Upgrading SLURM from 18 to 20.11.9

Typically slurm only supports upgrading between 2 major versions ahead.  If you are on 18.08 you likely can only go to 20.02. Then after you upgrade to 20.02 you can go to 20.11 or 21.08. -Paul Edmon- On 9/8/22 11:38 AM, Wadud Miah wrote: hi Mick, I have checked that all the compute nodes

hi Mick, I have checked that all the compute nodes and controllers all have the same version of SLURM (20.11.9). I am indeed trying to upgrade SlurmDB first, and am getting the errors in the slurmdbd.log: [2022-09-08T15:45:11.115] slurmdbd version 20.11.9 started [2022-09-08T15:45:23.001] error

This thread on the forums may help: https://groups.google.com/g/slurm-users/c/YB55Ru9rvD4 It looks like you have something on your network with an older version of slurm installed. I'd check the Slurm version installed on your compute nodes and controllers. The recommended approach to upgradi

Re: [slurm-users] License management and invoking scontrol in the prolog

Thanks Ole, for this clarification, this is very good to know. However, the problem is that the very example provided by slurm itself is the one that has the error. I removed the unpack part with the variable arguments and that fixed that part. Unfortunately, the job_desc table is always empty so
