I'm trying to start SLURM on the cluster. In my slurm.conf file, I have this
defined
JobCredentialPrivateKey=/usr/local/slurm/etc/slurm.key
When I try to start the SLURM daemons I get this errors:
> slurmctld -c -vvvv -D
slurmctld: error: Can not open data encryption key file
(/usr/local/slurm/etc/slurm.key)
slurmctld: fatal: slurm_cred_creator_ctx_create
(/usr/local/slurm/etc/slurm.key): No error
At first, the file /usr/local/slurm/etc/slurm.key didn't exist, so I then
created in empty file in it's place and got the above error message.
What is the proper way to create this file, or solve this error message?
