Ticket 1188

I believe that Gennaro Oliva already has added systemd support and we should pick that up (perhaps for our v14.11 release). Here is more information from Genaro:
====================================
'm happy to announce that together with two other guys,  Rémi
Palancher and Mehdi Dogguy, we succeeded to prepare the new slurm
package for Debian with version 14.03.8. I hope to get the .9 in, before
the upcoming release freeze. The new package is already
in the testing and unstable branch of Debian but will also be
contained in the next stable release "Jessie". The llnl acronym have
been removed from all the binary packages. It's still in use in some
packages directories but will be removed in the next releases.

The old slurm-llnl package content have been split in
three different packages: slurctld with the central
management daemon, slurmd with the compute node daemon and
slurm-client with client side commands. The old slurm-llnl
package content can still be obtained by installing
the new slurm-wlm metapackage. A list of the name changes
follows:

* slurm-llnl -> slurm-wlm (slurm-client, slurmd, slurmctld)
* slurm-llnl-slurdbd -> slurmdbd
* slurm-llnl-basic-plugins -> slurm-wlm-basic-plugins
* slurm-llnl-basic-plugins-dev -> slurm-wlm-basic-plugins-dev
* slurm-llnl-sview -> sview
* slurm-llnl-doc -> slurm-wlm-doc

The new slurm-wlm package supports systemd.

For lack of time the source package is still named slurm-llnl, but this
is something totally transparent to users: they can use the name
slurm-wlm to install or get the slurm source with apt. To ensure a
smooth upgrade, there is also a binary slurm-llnl transitional dummy
package that can be safely removed (this is needed to handle
transition between the old name and the new name).

I hope you enjoy this new release,
Ciao

I just added and integrated the files from the Debian team:
https://github.com/SchedMD/slurm/commit/bcff51aa7ee87fa0f8734b68487a5173250fa44a
https://github.com/SchedMD/slurm/commit/da7f19864a3c6d279c4f84ad8cbe1fc1c82b23c4

The service files might help in bug 1182, though that's for 14.03.

I think there's a typo in the spec file, in a couple places systemdbd.service is used instead of slurmdbd.service.

I fixed it thanks David.

Also, I think the service files need to be installed to /usr/lib/systemd/system, not /lib/systemd/system/. Based on http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.unit.html

That seems to be dependent upon the distribution.
They are in /lib/systemd/system/ on Ubuntu.

Ubuntu does not use the systemctl command and systemd. I am working on fixing the units file.

David

We use CentOS/Redhat as reference for the installation of the service
units, so the spec file has changed and the service units are installed
in  /usr/lib/systemd/system.
