You will need to install slurm on the new nodes, as it is installed on the other nodes.
Since they all must have the same conf file, grab the canonical conf file and put it on all of the machines - making sure that the new nodes are listed in that conf file. Restart the head node (the node running slurmctld) and then from that node run "scontrol reconfigure". There is no need to re-install slurm on the computers already in the cluster, and the slurm.conf can just be copied from the head node to the worker nodes. cheers L. ------ The most dangerous phrase in the language is, "We've always done it this way." - Grace Hopper On 17 February 2017 at 23:56, batsirai mabvakure <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I installed slurm on a computer with 4 nodes, and have have recently > increased two more computer that will allow me to run 16 more jobs.
