Dmitriis Slurm Controller V2

Learn about configurations >

• clustername | string

  Default: cluster1

  Name to be recorded in database for jobs from this cluster. This is important if a single database is used to record information from multiple Slurm-managed clusters.

• kill_wait | int

  Default: 30

  'The interval, in seconds, given to a job's processes between the SIGTERM and SIGKILL signals upon reaching its time limit. If the job fails to terminate gracefully in the interval specified, it will be forcibly terminated. The default value is 30 seconds. The value may not exceed 65533.'

• min_job_age | int

  Default: 300

  "The minimum age of a completed job before its record is purged from Slurm's active database. Set the values of MaxJobCount and to insure the slurmctld daemon does not exhaust its memory or other resources. The default value is 300 seconds. A value of zero prevents any job record purging. In order to eliminate some possible race conditions, the minimum non-zero value for MinJobAge recommended is 2."

• mpi_default | string

  Default: none

  'Identifies the default type of MPI to be used. Srun may override this configuration parameter in any case. Currently supported versions include: lam, mpich1_p4, mpich1_shmem, mpichgm, mpichmx, mvapich, none (default, which works for many other versions of MPI) and openmpi. pmi2, More information about MPI use is available here mpi_guide.'

• munge_key | string

  Munge key is used for authentication across the cluster and acts as a pre-shared key.

• scheduler_type | string

  Default: sched/backfill

  'Identifies the type of scheduler to be used. Note the slurmctld daemon must be restarted for a change in scheduler type to become effective (reconfiguring a running daemon has no effect for this parameter). The scontrol command can be used to manually change job priorities if desired. Acceptable values include: sched/backfill For a backfill scheduling module to augment the default FIFO scheduling. Backfill scheduling will initiate lower-priority jobs if doing so does not delay the expected initiation time of any higher priority job. Effectiveness of backfill scheduling is dependent upon users specifying job time limits, otherwise all jobs will have the same time limit and backfilling is impossible. Note documentation for the SchedulerParameters option above. This is the default configuration. sched/builtin This is the FIFO scheduler which initiates jobs in priority order. If any job in the partition can not be scheduled, no lower priority job in that partition will be scheduled. An exception is made for jobs that can not run due to partition constraints (e.g. the time limit) or down/drained nodes. In that case, lower priority jobs can be initiated and not impact the higher priority job. sched/hold To hold all newly arriving jobs if a file "/etc/slurm.hold" exists otherwise use the built-in FIFO scheduler'

• slurm_user | string

  Default: slurm

  The name of the user that the slurmctld daemon executes as. For security purposes, a user other than "root" is recommended. This user must exist on all nodes of the cluster for authentication of communications between Slurm components. The default value is "root".

• slurmctld_debug | string

  Default: info

  "The level of detail to provide slurmctld daemon's logs. The default value is info. If the slurmctld daemon is initiated with -v or --verbose options, that debug level will be preserve or restored upon reconfiguration."

• slurmctld_log_file | string

  Default: /var/log/slurm-llnl/slurmctld.log

  "Fully qualified pathname of a file into which the slurmctld daemon's logs are written. The default value is none (performs logging via syslog)."

• slurmctld_pid_file | string

  Default: /var/run/slurm-llnl/slurmctld.pid

  'Fully qualified pathname of a file into which the slurmctld daemon may write its process id. This may be used for automated signal processing. The default value is "/var/run/slurmctld.pid".'

• slurmctld_port | int

  Default: 6817

  'The port number that the Slurm controller, slurmctld, listens to for work. The default value is SLURMCTLD_PORT as established at system build time. If none is explicitly specified, it will be set to 6817. SlurmctldPort may also be configured to support a range of port numbers in order to accept larger bursts of incoming messages by specifying two numbers separated by a dash (e.g. SlurmctldPort=6817-6818). NOTE: Either slurmctld and slurmd daemons must not execute on the same nodes or the values of SlurmctldPort and SlurmdPort must be different.'

• slurmctld_timeout | int

  Default: 120

  'The interval, in seconds, that the backup controller waits for the primary controller to respond before assuming control. The default value is 120 seconds. May not exceed 65533.'

• slurmd_debug | string

  Default: info

  "The level of detail to provide slurmd daemon's logs. The default value is info."

• slurmd_log_file | string

  Default: /var/log/slurm-llnl/slurmd.log

  'Fully qualified pathname of a file into which the slurmd daemon's logs are written. The default value is none (performs logging via syslog). Any "%h" within the name is replaced with the hostname on which the slurmd is running. Any "%n" within the name is replaced with the Slurm node name on which the slurmd is running.'

• slurmd_pid_file | string

  Default: /var/run/slurm-llnl/slurmd.pid

  'Fully qualified pathname of a file into which the slurmd daemon may write its process id. This may be used for automated signal processing. Any "%h" within the name is replaced with the hostname on which the slurmd is running. Any "%n" within the name is replaced with the Slurm node name on which the slurmd is running. The default value is "/var/run/slurmd.pid".'

• slurmd_port | int

  Default: 6818

  'The port number that the Slurm compute node daemon, slurmd, listens to for work. The default value is SLURMD_PORT as established at system build time. If none is explicitly specified, its value will be 6818. NOTE: Either slurmctld and slurmd daemons must not execute on the same nodes or the values of SlurmctldPort and SlurmdPort must be different.'

• slurmd_spool_dir | string

  Default: /var/spool/slurmd.spool

  'Fully qualified pathname of a directory into which the slurmd daemon's state information and batch job script information are written. This must be a common pathname for all nodes, but should represent a directory which is local to each node (reference a local file system). The default value is "/var/spool/slurmd". Any "%h" within the name is replaced with the hostname on which the slurmd is running. Any "%n" within the name is replaced with the Slurm node name on which the slurmd is running.'

• slurmd_timeout | int

  Default: 300

  'The interval, in seconds, that the Slurm controller waits for slurmd to respond before configuring that node's state to DOWN. A value of zero indicates the node will not be tested by slurmctld to confirm the state of slurmd, the node will not be automatically set to a DOWN state indicating a non-responsive slurmd, and some other tool will take responsibility for monitoring the state of each compute node and its slurmd daemon. Slurm's hierarchical communication mechanism is used to ping the slurmd daemons in order to minimize system noise and overhead. The default value is 300 seconds. The value may not exceed 65533 seconds.'

• state_save_location | string

  Default: /var/spool/slurm.state

  'Fully qualified pathname of a directory into which the Slurm controller, slurmctld, saves its state (e.g. "/usr/local/slurm/checkpoint"). Slurm state will saved here to recover from system failures. SlurmUser must be able to create files in this directory. If you have a BackupController configured, this location should be readable and writable by both systems. Since all running and pending job information is stored here, the use of a reliable file system (e.g. RAID) is recommended. The default value is "/var/spool". If any slurm daemons terminate abnormally, their core files will also be written into this directory.'
