dear all, I tried to configure slurm accounting feature using database. I already read the instruction available in this page http://slurm.schedmd.com/accounting.html, but the accounting feature still not working. I got this error message when I try to execute sacct command :
sacct: error: Problem talking to the database: Connection refused the following is my slurm.conf: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Slurm.conf---------------------------------------------------------------- # # Sample /etc/slurm.conf for mcr.llnl.gov # ControlMachine=head-node ControlAddr=head-node #BackupController=mcrj #BackupAddr=emcrj # AuthType=auth/munge CheckpointType=checkpoint/blcr #Epilog=/usr/local/slurm/etc/epilog FastSchedule=1 #JobCompLoc=/var/tmp/jette/slurm.job.log JobCompType=jobcomp/mysql #AccountingStorageType=accounting_storage/mysql AccountingStorageType=accounting_storage/slurmdbd AccountingStorageHost=localhost AccountingStoragePass=/var/run/munge/munge.socket.2 ClusterName=comeon JobCompHost=head-node JobCompPass=password JobCompPort=3306 JobCompUser=root JobCredentialPrivateKey=/usr/local/etc/slurm.key JobCredentialPublicCertificate=/usr/local/etc/slurm.cert MsgAggregationParams=WindowMsgs=2,WindowTime=100 PluginDir=/usr/local/lib/slurm JobCheckpointDir=/mirror/source/cr #Prolog=/usr/local/slurm/etc/prolog MailProg=/usr/bin/mail SchedulerType=sched/backfill SelectType=select/linear SlurmUser=slurm SlurmctldLogFile=/var/tmp/slurmctld.log SlurmctldPort=7002 SlurmctldTimeout=300 SlurmdPort=7003 SlurmdSpoolDir=/var/tmp/slurmd.spool SlurmdTimeout=300 SlurmdLogFile=/var/tmp/slurmd.log StateSaveLocation=/var/tmp/slurm.state #SwitchType=switch/none TreeWidth=50 # # Node Configurations # NodeName=DEFAULT CPUs=8 RealMemory=5949 TmpDisk=64000 State=UNKNOWN NodeName=head-node,compute-node,spare-node NodeAddr=head-node,compute-node,spare-node SocketsPerBoard=1 CoresPerSocket=4 ThreadsPerCore=2 # # Partition Configurations # PartitionName=DEFAULT State=UP PartitionName=comeon Nodes=head-node,compute-node,spare-node MaxTime=168:00:00 MaxNodes=32 Default=YES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- what is the difference between slurmdbd and mysql ? based on the information in this page, http://slurm.schedmd.com/accounting.html, slurmdbd has its own configuration file called slurmdbd.conf. is there any example of slurmdbd.conf file ? where should I store this file ? how do I setup slurm to read slurmdbd.conf file ? I have installed mysql. I also have created slurm_acct_db database. I need help. Thank you in advance regards, Husen
