- DONE: Port nodeextendjob to Slurm scontrol update jobid=974 timelimit=+7-0:0:0
- DONE: Port nodesfree to Slurm
- DONE: Port nodereboot to Slurm scontrol ASAP reboot reason=testing testpost001
- DONE: Create a subset of testpost cluster that only runs Slurm for admins to test.
- Done: Install Slurmctld on testpost-serv-1, testpost-master, and OS image
- Done: install Slurm reaper on OS image (RHEL-7.8.1.3)
- Done: Make the new testpost-master a Slurm submit host
- Create a small subset of nmpost cluster that only runs Slurm for users to test.
- Done: Install Slurmctld on nmpost-serv-1, nmpost-master, herapost-master, and OS image
- Done: install Slurm reaper on OS image (RHEL-7.8.1.3)
- Done: Make the new nmpost-master a Slurm submit host
- Done: Make the new, disked herapost-master a Slurm submit host.
- Need at least 3 nodes: batch/interactive, vlass/vlasstest, hera/hera-i
- Identify stake-holders (E.g. operations, VLASS, DAs, sci-staff, SSA, HERA, observers, ALMA, CV) and give them the chance to test Slurm and provide opinions
- implement useful opinions
- for MPI jobs we should either create hardware ssh keys so users can launch MPI worker processes like they currently do in Torque (with mpiexec or mpirun) or, compile Slurm with PMIx to work with OpenMPI3 or compile OpenMPI with the libpmi that Slurm creates. I expect changing mpicasa to use OpenMPI3/PMIx instead of its current OpenMPI version will be difficult so it might be easier to just add hardware ssh keys. This makes me sad because that was one of the things I was hoping to stop doing with Slurm. sigh. Actually, this may not be needed. mpicasa figures things out from the Slurm environment and doesn't need a -n or a machinefile. I will test all this without hardware ssh keys.
- What about changing the stow package from cluster-nmpot to just cluster. This will make the stow package easier to share with CV.
- Figure out why cgroups for nodescheduler jobs aren't being removed.
- Make heranodescheduler and heranodescheduler-test and heranodesfree and heraqdel?
- Set a date to transition remaining cluster to Slurm. Possibly before we have to pay for Torque again around Jun. 2022.
- Do another pass on the documentation https://info.nrao.edu/computing/guide/cluster-processing
