Description GSK-ONYX-SLURM 2021-02-07 07:46:27 MST

Currently we deploy by RPMs, and have a ~/.rpmmacros of:
%_prefix /usr/local/slurm
%_with_lua 1
%_with_mpi pmi2_v2
%_with_slurmrestd 1

We want to move to the share directory approach where the software is in /home/slurm/software/<version> and the configuration is in /etc/slurm.


I am assuming that I add
--prefix=/home/slurm/software/20.11.2
--sysconfdir=/etc/slurm
to the ./configure command

but what do I have to add to enable the setting from the .rpmmacros file?

Thanks

> %_with_lua 1
This option in the RPM just adds a requirement to the RPM that a lua package be installed.  Slurm will look for a lua version and build against it.  There isn't currently an option like this for the configure script.

> %_with_mpi pmi2_v2
This option doesn't appear to do anything in relatively recent slurm versions.  The option "--with-pmix" is likely the option you are looking for here, but it accepts a path.

--with-pmix path

If you are using the system version, a bare "--with-pmix" will look in some default locations for it.  This is also the default behavior of the configure script, though enabling it explicitly is a good idea.

> %_with_slurmrestd 1
--enable-slurmrestd

This is actually the default when running the configure script, but enabling it explicitly is also a good idea.

Yes, that should do what you expect!

Let me know if this helps!

Thanks!

Tim,

thanks

next dumb question :-)

--with-pmix path

what does Path point to?

No problem :)

Its intended to be the path(s) to pmix installations (it actually supports more than one).  By default, it just looks in "/usr" and "/usr/local".  For example, one of my test setups is using openpmix 2.2.4 in a custom location, so I build slurm with "--with-pmix=/opt/pmix/2.2.4/".  Unless you are building something like that as well, the default is probably the right option!

Let me know if that helps!

Thanks,

I'm going to resolve this for now since you haven't brought any issues up with the info provided, but please re-open if you do need any more information on it!
