TO BUILD:
cd slurm
./autogen.sh
./configure
make [--with-authd] [--with-elan] [--with-totalview]
/* --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 */
> cd slurm
> ./autogen.sh
> ./configure [--with-authd] [--with-elan] [--with-totalview]
> make
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
TO TEST:
You will need to construct a valid configuration file for your machine.
To run on a single host, you can use the file etc/slurm.conf. For a
cluster, you should build something based upon etc/slurm.conf.dev.
See doc/man/man5/slurm.conf.5 for help in building this.
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 slurmctld on the control machine (it can run without root
permissions, as user SlurmUser as set in slurm.conf).
Initiate slurmd on each host (needs to run as root for production,
but can run as a normal user for testing).
Run jobs using the srun command.
Get system status using scontrol, sinfo, squeue.
Terminate jobs using scancel.
These daemons and commands are in sub-directories of "slurm/src".
Initiate "src/slurmctld/slurmctld" on the control machine (it can run
without root permissions, as user SlurmUser as specified in slurm.conf).
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).
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
more work.
more work).
NOTES:
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 11/26/2002):
Basic functionality is in place, although development work is required
in various areas.
The code is not ready for production use yet.
Documentation needs updating, although the man pages are in pretty
good shape.
Scaling studies are needed.
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).
