Additional tools for the OpenHPC environment. First add these two lines to SMS and all compute nodes. Patch CHROOT as well.

• /etc/security/limits.conf

# added for RLIMIT_MEMLOCK warnings with libibverbs -hmeij
*                soft    memlock         unlimited
*                hard    memlock         unlimited

• Skipping SSH restrictions for users
  • Set up password less logins ssh-keygen -t rsa
  • cat ~/.ssh/idrsa.pub » ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
  • Collect all server fingerprints and make a global known_hosts file in ~/.ssh/
• Skipping Luster installation

• Nagios monitoring

• Page1 OpenHPC
• Reset nagiosadmin password htpasswd -c /etc/nagios/passwd nagiosadmin
• Open port 80 in iptables but restrict severely (plain text passwords)
• http://localhost/nagios

• On to Ganglia

 yum -y groupinstall ohpc-ganglia

 chroot /data/ohpc/images/centos7.2 systemctl enable gmond

# recreate vnfs and reimage nodes, see page1
 wwvnfs -y --chroot /data/ohpc/images/centos7.2
 /root/deploy.sh

• http://localhost/ganglia

• Not installing ClusterShell, pdsh is already installed
  • add compute hostnames to /etc/hosts.pdsh
  • echo export WCOLL=/etc/hosts.pdsh » /root/.bashrc

[root@ohpc0-test ~]# pdsh uptime
n31:  10:44:25 up 19:14,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05
n29:  10:44:25 up 19:19,  0 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05

• Skip mrsh installation
• Skip Genders installation
• Skip ConMan installation, ipmi serial consoles
• Skip rsysslog forwarding of compute node logs to SMS
• Redefine ControlMachine in /etc/slurm.slurm.conf
  • use eth0, not public address eth1
  • and CHROOT/etc/slurm/slurm.conf
  • import file back into database

Ran into a slurm config problem here on compue ndoes. When issuing systemctl status slurm the output revealed a failed start and it reported could not find /var/run/slurmctl.pid … that's the wrong pid process, compute nodes should only start slurmd. So finally got this fixed

# ON COMPUTE NODES, that is in CHROOT

# Removed file /etc/init.d/slurm
mv /etc/init.d/slurm /root/ 

# Made the following link
[root@n31 ~]# ls -l /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/slurmd.service 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Mar 30 14:05 /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/slurmd.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/slurmd.service  

# now it starts properly
Mar 31 12:41:05 n31.localdomain systemd[1]: Starting Slurm node daemon...
Mar 31 12:41:05 n31.localdomain systemd[1]: PID file /var/run/slurmd.pid not readable (yet?) after start.
Mar 31 12:41:05 n31.localdomain systemd[1]: Started Slurm node daemon.

• Recreate vnfs, Reimage the whole kaboodle

Link to my previous eval of Slurm and job throughput testing: Slurm. Next submit some test jobs, explained on that page too.

Here are my current settings on slurm.conf in OpenHPC.
