14.03 on RHEL5.10

[Nathan Harper]

Hi,

Has anyone had any luck getting Slurm 14.03 working on RHEL5.10 (or
CentOS5.10)? There have been some other mailing list posts, but the only
suggested solution might be disabling optimisation (which didn't work for
me.

I'm setting up a new install with a mix of EL6.4 and EL5.10 nodes.
rpmbuild -ta <tarball> works fine on 6.4, but no luck with 5.10:

# service slurm start
scontrol: Resetting MaxJobCnt from 4294967294 to 1 (MaxJobId - FirstJobId +
1)
scontrol: error: is_valid_path: path is NULL!
scontrol: error: Bad value "(null)" for PluginDir
scontrol: fatal: Unable to process configuration file

I ran into similar issues.

# sacctmgr
sacctmgr: error: PreemptType and PreemptMode values incompatible
sacctmgr: fatal: Unable to process configuration file

# egrep 'PreemptType|PreemptMode' /etc/slurm/slurm.conf
PreemptMode=SUSPEND,GANG
PreemptType=preempt/partition_prio

This is with slurm-14.03.3-2

Slight update - after changing the things in slurm.conf that it is
complaining about, 'service slurm start' now doesn't throw any errors.
However, attempting to run anything give a segfault:

Hi,

I found the "solution" to the problem a while ago while perusing through
the Slurm bugzilla reports. Turns out, one has to build the rpms with
-O0 optimization.

So, here is what I have in my .rpmmacros file.

--
%_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}
%_topdir /opt/rpmbuild
%_tmppath /tmp
%_smp_mflags -j4
%with_cflags CFLAGS='-g -O0'
--

The rebuild your rpms,

rpmbuild -ta slurm-14.03.5.tar.gz

I've noticed that this problem doesn't exist on RHEL 6.X systems.

Thanks,
Kiran
