Configure Slurm

A YAML cluster configuration file for a Slurm resource manager on an HPC cluster looks like:

# /etc/ood/config/clusters.d/my_cluster.yml
---
v2:
  metadata:
    title: "My Cluster"
  login:
    host: "my_cluster.my_center.edu"
  job:
    adapter: "slurm"
    cluster: "my_cluster"
    bin: "/path/to/slurm/bin"
    conf: "/path/to/slurm.conf"

with the following configuration options:

adapter

This is set to slurm.

cluster

The Slurm cluster name. Optional

bin

The path to the Slurm client installation binaries.

conf

The path to the Slurm configuration file for this cluster. Optional

Note

If you do not have a multi-cluster Slurm setup you can remove the cluster: "cluster1" line from the above configuration file.

Warning

The Open OnDemand server will need the appropriate MUNGE keys (see Slurm Quick Start Administrator Guide) for the various clusters to be able to status and submit batch jobs.
