HP XC System Software Installation Guide Version 3.1

13. Configure SLURM:
Do you want to configure SLURM? (y/n) [y]:
Your answer depends on the type of LSF you plan to install; do one of the following:
• If you intend to install LSF-HPC with SLURM or the Maui Scheduler, enter y.
• If you intend to install standard LSF do not install SLURM and enter n.
If you are installing SLURM, define a SLURM user name and accept all default responses. The output
looks different if you assigned the resource_management role to one or more additional nodes
because you will be prompted to assign the master and backup controller nodes.
This SLURM configuration needs a special SLURM user. The SLURM
controller daemons will be run by this user, and certain SLURM
runtime files will be owned by this user.
Enter the SLURM username [slurm]: Enter
User 'slurm' does not exist.
If this user account is created here, it will not have login
access. Do you want to create this user? (y/n) [y]: Enter
n16 is the only node with the Resource Management
role. Therefore the SLURM Master Controller daemon will be set up
on this node, and there will be no SLURM Backup Controller.
The current Compute Node configuration is:
NodeName=n[11-16] Procs=2
NOTE: The only Partition created by default is the lsf
partition. If you want additional partitions, configure
them manually in the /hptc_cluster/slurm/etc/slurm.conf file.
The current Node Partition configuration is:
PartitionName=lsf RootOnly=YES Shared=FORCE Nodes=n[11-16]
Do you want to enable SLURM-controlled user-access to the
compute nodes? (y/n) [n]: n

SLURM configuration complete. Press 'Enter' to continue: Enter
Executing C91swmlogger gconfigure
Executing C95lsf gconfigure

By default, all compute nodes in the HP XC system are accessible by any user after their user
accounts have been set up. This prompt enables you to restrict individual access to each
compute node to the user who currently has the compute node reserved within SLURM.
It is important that you assign a login role to each node on which you expect users to be
able to log in and use the system. If you answer yes here and configure all nodes with the
compute role (the default), but you do not configure any nodes with the login role, non-root
users will not be allowed to log in to the system.
NOTE: After cluster_config processing is complete, you have the option to modify default
SLURM compute node and partition information, as described in “Perform SLURM Postconfiguration
Tasks” (page 86).
14. Decide whether or not you want to install LSF as the job management system:
Do you want to install LSF now? (y|n) [y]:
