slurmctld fails to start: invalid plugin select/cons_res #19

Closed liffiton closed 2 weeks ago

liffiton commented 3 weeks ago

I'm trying to launch a virtual cluster in a Rocky 8 instance on Jetstream2 following the documentation here.

On the instance I create, slurmctld fails to start, giving an error in the logs: fatal: Can't find plugin for select/cons_res. slurmctld --version prints slurm 23.11.4.

In the slurm.conf documentation, it looks like cons_res is "legacy" and no longer an accepted value for the SelectType setting in slurm.conf.

If I change select/cons_res to the allowed select/cons_tres value in slurm.conf, then slurmctld starts successfully.
