NOTE: This is intended for developers rather than production use.
-- NOTE: THERE HAS BEEN A NEW FIELD ADDED TO THE JOB STATE FILE. UPGRADES FROM
VERSION 2.3.0-PRE4 WILL RESULT IN LOST JOBS UNLESS THE "orig_dependency"
FIELD IS REMOVED FROM JOB STATE SAVE/RESTORE LOGIC. ON CRAY SYSTEMS A NEW
"confirm_cookie" FIELD WAS ADDED AND HAS THE SAME EFFECT OF DISABLING JOB
STATE RESTORE.
* Changes in SLURM 2.3.0.pre5
=============================
-- BLUEGENE - Improve speed of start up when removing blocks at the beginning.
-- Correct init.d/slurm status to have non-zero exit code if ANY Slurm
damon that should be running on the node is not running. Patch from Rod
Schulz, Bull.
-- Improve accuracy of response to "srun --test-only jobid=#".
-- Fix bug in front-end configurations which reports job_cnt_comp underflow
errors after slurmctld restarts.
-- Eliminate "error from _trigger_slurmctld_event in backup.c" due to lack of
event triggers.
-- Fix logic in BackupController to properly recover front-end node state and
avoid purging active jobs.
-- Added man pages to html pages and the new cpu_management.html page.
Submitted by Martin Perry / Rod Schultz, Bull.
-- Job dependency information will only show the currently active dependencies
rather than the original dependencies. From Dan Rusak, Bull.
-- Add RPCs to get the SPANK environment variables from the slurmctld daemon.
Patch from Andrej N. Gritsenko.
-- Updated plugins/task/cgroup/task_cgroup_cpuset.c to support newer
HWLOC_API_VERSION.
-- Do not build select/bluegene plugin if C++ compiler is not installed.
-- Add new configure option --with-srun2aprun to build an srun command
which is a wrapper over Cray's aprun command and supports many srun
options. Without this option, the srun command will advise the user
to use the aprun command.
-- Change container ID supported by proctrack plugin from 32-bit to 64-bit.
-- Added contribs/cray/libalps_test_programs.tar.gz with tools to validate
SLURM's logic used to support Cray systems.
-- Create RPM for srun command that is a wrapper for the Cray/ALPS aprun
command. Dependent upon .rpmmacros parameter of "%_with_srun2aprun".
-- Add configuration parameter MaxStepCount to limit effect of bad batch
scripts.
-- Moving to github
-- Fix for handling a 2.3 system talking to a 2.2 slurmctld.
-- Add contribs/lua/job_submit.license.lua script. Update job_submit and Lua
related documentation.
-- Test if _make_batch_script() is called with a NULL script.
-- Increase hostlist support from 24k to 64k nodes.
-- Renamed the Accounting Storage database's "DerivedExitString" job field to
"Comment". Provided backward compatible support for "DerivedExitString" in
the sacctmgr tool.
-- Added the ability to save the job's comment field to the Accounting
Storage db (to the formerly named, "DerivedExitString" job field). This
behavior is enabled by a new slurm.conf parameter:
AccountingStoreJobComment.
-- Test if _make_batch_script() is called with a NULL script.
-- Increase hostlist support from 24k to 64k nodes.
-- Fix srun to handle signals correctly when waiting for a step creation.
-- Preserve the last job ID across slurmctld daemon restarts even if the job
state file can not be fully recovered.
-- Made the hostlist functions be able to arbitrarily handle any size
dimension no matter what the size of the cluster is in dimensions.
