Hi Monica,

Hey,
It's my first time using SLURM and I'm getting the following error when
slurmctld: debug2: No last_config_lite file (/tmp/last_config_lite) to
recover
slurmctld: debug4: unable to create link for /tmp/last_config_lite ->
/tmp/last_config_lite.old: No such file or directory

I don't know what that means but this message is probably the least to
be concerned about. I think it will disappear once SLURM was started
successfully for the first time.

slurmctld: error: Configured MailProg is invalid

Make sure that either /bin/mail exists or configure the parameter
MailProg to the mail program of your choice.

If you want to use one of the acct_gather plugins, you have to provide a
configuration file for it. See
http://slurm.schedmd.com/acct_gather.conf.html

No not use "localhost" for the parameters BackupController, BackupAddr,
ControlAddr and ControlMachine but the real machine's name. And make
sure you can lookup that name (either DNS or entry in /etc/hosts).

Also, have a look at http://slurm.schedmd.com/slurm.conf.html for
parameters used in slurm.conf.

If you would like to start over with a new configuration file you can
use the simple or full version of the config file generator:

Uwe
