Hi!
In our site we store the logs and the pid files of slurmctld and slurmdbbd
daemons on local disk, it is better so to distinguish who is doing what and
since if a node is down the daemons are not running then there is no need to
put them on a shared filesystem. For slurmctld we have the state dir and
jobcomp on a shared active/active filesystem. For slurmdbd we have an
active/passive filesystem between the master nodes where we store the
mysql/mariadb database.
I understand that it is your policy to use shared filesystems for those files
(and in general is not a bad idea) but in this case for slurm control daemons
you should use local disks (personal opinion).
Anyway, if you insist to use shared fs then I can only think of one solution:
use symbolic links. E.g.:
@master1: path-of-pidfile-in-slurm.conf -> /sharedfs/slurm/run/master1.pid
@master2: path-of-pidfile-in-slurm.conf -> /sharedfs/slurm/run/master2.pid
Cheers,

Hi,
We store all slurm logs/pids/tmpfiles on a shared disk. logs/pids/tmpfiles
of different slurmds can be distinguished by nodename(%n) or hostname(%h). But
it seems that logs/pids path of slurmctld or backup-slurmctld does not support
%n or %h.
Any assistance or advice is appreciated.
Thanks.
