Many thanks, Antony. As my config uses different names, from the slurm node names, for the IB interconnect, it should be OK to use the ib topology but identified by their slurm node names?
If so, then we are set for testing. kevin From: Antony Cleave [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, December 13, 2014 9:09 AM To: slurm-dev Subject: [slurm-dev] Re: Quick question on use of topology.conf I think the quick answer is no. I will use an example of a system I configured recently to explain. This system uses a 1Gb network for all slurm traffic and system services and an infiniband network for interprocess communication. As such I configured the topology file to be based on the infiniband switch topology rather than the ethernet topology. Antony On 13 Dec 2014 12:53, "Williams, Kevin E.

That is, if nodes in the slurm configuration have multiple interconnects available, and the one used to define the nodes in slurm partitions is a 1GB network, does the switch topology have to reflect that particular network topology?
