Dear team, I'm trying to re load some job data that where available using sacct before automatic purge. The files are there: ls -la /var/lib/slurmdbd/ -rw------- 1 slurm slurm 149272 Jun 1 2013 baobab_step_archive_2013-04-01T00:00:00_2013-04-30T23:59:59 -rw------- 1 slurm slurm 226501 Jul 1 2013 baobab_step_archive_2013-05-01T00:00:00_2013-05-31T23:59:59 -rw------- 1 slurm slurm 11139245 Aug 1 2013 baobab_step_archive_2013-06-01T00:00:00_2013-06-30T23:59:59 [...] I'm loading the file like that: $sacctmgr load baobab_step_archive_2013-04-01T00:00:00_2013-04-30T23:59:59 Nothing after object name '2'. line(10) Problem with requests: Unspecified error Different error for every file, but the load of all of them fail.
Hi, what version of Slurm you ran when these files were produced? Could you send us one of them. David
Created attachment 1875 [details] purge file not working
We were using various SLURM version (range from 2013 to 2015)
Hi, the command 'sacctmgr load <file>' loads configuration file. The command you are looking for is is 'sacctmgr archive load'. This indeed is not very clear from the documentation so we are going to update it. David
Thanks for that information. I have tried randomly one or two file: sacctmgr archive load baobab_job_archive_2013-11-01T00:00:00_2013-11-30T23:59:59 sacctmgr: error: Error with request. Problem loading archive file: Unspecified error
After having a look at the slurmdbd.log, it's obvious. [2015-05-13T09:05:09.144] error: mysql_query failed: 1153 Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes I just set in my.cnf: max_allowed_packet = 1G and it seems to be working fine! "unspecified error" could probably be improved in this case as the error is catched by slurmdbd. Thanks
We can look at improving the message in the next release 15.08 as it needs a change in protocol between slurmdbd and sacctmgr. David
