remote job submission

[Erica Riello]

Hi,

I have Slurm 14.03.7 running in 2 machine "cluster". Now I'm trying to
submit a job from a machine outside of this cluster, but I find no
documentation on remote submission.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

You don't really need any cluster configuration for this, hence it
wouldn't be in the SLURM docs. It can be easily done using ordinary ssh
commands, e.g.

scp file.sbatch login-***@public.gmane.org
ssh login-***@public.gmane.org sbatch file.sbatch

If ssh keys are configured between the cluster and the remote machine,
neither command will prompt for a password. ( Use keys only from
trusted remote machines, though. )

This kind of simple remote execution can be used between any two Unix
machines on a network and is the basis of how SLURM and other resource
managers dispatch jobs to compute nodes.

JB

Uwe,

But then would I be able to submit jobs to different clusters?

Jason,

I was thinking of something more simple, like the -q option in torque / pbs

See the -M/--clusters option for almost all Slurm commands as
described in the man pages.

Erica,

my configuration includes at least one frontend per cluster from which
users submit their jobs. This frontend runs munge and has slurm
installed but no service running, just the same configuration as on the
controller and nodes.

So the question doesn't come to mind in my case as users log in to the
frontend to submit jobs and access the cluster filesystems.

Regards,

Uwe
