NOTES:
# --with-authd if you want to use authd for authentication
# --with-elan if you have an Quadics elan switch, defaults to IP
# --with-totalview if you want to support the Etnus TotalView debugger
You will need to construct a valid configuration file for your machine.
To run on a single host, you can probably use the file in
"etc/slurm.conf.localhost" with minimal modifications.
For a cluster, you should build something based upon "etc/slurm.conf.dev".
Be sure to update "SlurmUser", "JobCredentialPrivateKey" and
"JobCredentialPublicCertificate". There are keys in
"src/slurmd/private.key" and "src/slurmd/public.cert"
See "doc/man/man5/slurm.conf.5" for help in building this.
Initiate "src/slurmctld/slurmctld" on the control machine (it can run
without root permissions, as user SlurmUser as specified in slurm.conf).
For testing purposes you probably want to use several options:
"-D" keep in foreground, "-c" clear state from previous executions,
and possibly "-v" for verbose messages (more v's for more verbosity).
Initiate "src/slurmd/slurmd" on each compute server (it needs to run
as root for production, but can run as a normal user for testing -
it will report errors on the initgroups, seteuid, and setegid functions
if not run as root, but if everything is run as the same user that's OK).
For testing purposes you probably want to use several options:
"-D" keep in foreground, "-c" clear state from previous executions,
and possibly "-v" for verbose messages (more v's for more verbosity).
Run jobs using the "src/srun/srun" command.
Get system status using "src/sinfo/sinfo" and "src/squeue/squeue".
Terminate jobs using "src/scancel/scancel".
Get and set system configuration information using "src/scontrol/scontrol".
Man pages for all of these daemons and commands can be found in "doc/man".
There DejaGnu scripts to exercise various APIs and tools (they need
You should have autoconf version 2.52 or higher (see "autoconf -V").
There is no authentication of communications between commands and
daemons without the the authd daemon in operation. For more
information, see "http://www.theether.org/authd/".
STATUS (As of 12/19/2002):
Most functionality is in place and working.
Performance is good (under 5 seconds to run 1900 tasks of "/bin/hostname"
over 950 nodes).
Numerous performance enhancements are in the works as well as support
for the TotalView debugger and pluggable authentication modules (PAM).
