Slurm installation

  • I set up and updated all packages on a fresh Rocky Linux 8.10 VM. This is the slurm Contoller Node.
  • I switched to the root user:
    su - root
    
  • I read through this slurm guide and pulled this slurm install script:
    wget --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NISP-GmbH/SLURM/main/slurm_install.sh
    
  • I set the version as 20.11.9:
    export VER=20.11.9
    
  • I ran the slurm installation script:
    bash slurm_install.sh
    
  • I did not enable slurm accounting support after checking the accounting documentation.
  • I tested that the slurm installation completed successfully and this was the case:
    [root@rocky-linux-8-slurm-head-node ~]# sinfo
    PARTITION AVAIL  TIMELIMIT  NODES  STATE NODELIST
    test*        up   infinite      1   idle rocky-linux-8-slurm-head-node
