Description Will Dennis 2021-03-11 20:19:59 MST

Starting slurmdbd on a new cluster, seeing this:

slurmdbd: debug2: Attempting to connect to localhost:3306
slurmdbd: accounting_storage/as_mysql: _check_mysql_concat_is_sane: MySQL server version is: 10.1.47-MariaDB-0ubuntu0.18.04.1
slurmdbd: debug2: accounting_storage/as_mysql: _check_database_variables: innodb_buffer_pool_size: 134217728
slurmdbd: debug2: accounting_storage/as_mysql: _check_database_variables: innodb_log_file_size: 50331648
slurmdbd: debug2: accounting_storage/as_mysql: _check_database_variables: innodb_lock_wait_timeout: 50
slurmdbd: error: Database settings not recommended values: innodb_buffer_pool_size innodb_lock_wait_timeout

Where are the recommended values specified for these params?

Thanks.

Comment 1 Marcin Stolarek 2021-03-12 02:11:58 MST

Will,

The error is printed when configured values are less than half of recommendation/example form our web documentation[1]:

>innodb_buffer_pool_size=1024M
>innodb_log_file_size=64M
>innodb_lock_wait_timeout=900


cheers,
Marcin

Thanks for the doc reference. Will use that to make the needed param changes to MySQL my.cnf file. OK to close.
