Description rpoyner 2016-11-21 12:29:18 MST 
This is an issue with slurmdbd built from source, with stock options.

slurmdbd looks for accounting_mysql.so but the version in lib/slurm is named accounting_storage_mysql.so.


/app/slurm/sbin/slurmdbd -D -vvvv
slurmdbd: debug3: Trying to load plugin /app/slurm-16.05.5/lib/slurm/auth_munge.so
slurmdbd: debug:  auth plugin for Munge (http://code.google.com/p/munge/) loaded
slurmdbd: debug3: Success.
slurmdbd: debug3: Trying to load plugin /app/slurm-16.05.5/lib/slurm/accounting_mysql.so
slurmdbd: error: Couldn't find the specified plugin name for accounting/mysql looking at all files
slurmdbd: error: cannot find accounting_storage plugin for accounting/mysql
slurmdbd: error: cannot create accounting_storage context for accounting/mysql
slurmdbd: fatal: Unable to initialize accounting/mysql accounting storage plugin

This can be worked around by providing symlinks to the correct names:

accounting_mysql.a -> accounting_storage_mysql.a
accounting_mysql.la -> accounting_storage_mysql.la
accounting_mysql.so -> accounting_storage_mysql.so

Causes slurmdbd to run correctly.

Before this ticket can be sent to the support team we need to put a support contract in place for your site. Please let me know if you would like to discuss Slurm support.
