Description Ahmed Essam ElMazaty 2020-06-14 06:32:06 MDT

Hello,
We plan to upgrade to 20.02.3 next week. Today we were testing upgrading our test cluster.
I kept facing errors whenever I issue a SLURM command
scontrol: error: NodeNames=cn110-22-l CPUs=1 match no Sockets, Sockets*CoresPerSocket or Sockets*CoresPerSocket*ThreadsPerCore. Resetting CPUs.
for each node in the configuration file

before the upgrade, the structure of our nodes.conf file was as follows:
NodeName=DEFAULT Gres="" Feature=raven,cpu_amd_epyc_7702,amd,ibex2019,nogpu,nolmem,local_200G,local_400G,local_500G,local_950G RealMemory=510000 Boards=1 SocketsPerBoard=2 CoresPerSocket=64 ThreadsPerCore=1 Weight=100
NodeName=cn110-22-l
NodeName=cn110-23-l
...

Is that a change introduced in the new version?

The weird thing that node specs appear correctly when I use "scontrol show node"


# scontrol show node cn110-22-l
scontrol: error: NodeNames=cn110-22-l CPUs=1 match no Sockets, Sockets*CoresPerSocket or Sockets*CoresPerSocket*ThreadsPerCore. Resetting CPUs.
scontrol: error: NodeNames=cn110-23-l CPUs=1 match no Sockets, Sockets*CoresPerSocket or Sockets*CoresPerSocket*ThreadsPerCore. Resetting CPUs.
scontrol: error: NodeNames=dgpu502-17-l CPUs=1 match no Sockets, Sockets*CoresPerSocket or Sockets*CoresPerSocket*ThreadsPerCore. Resetting CPUs.
scontrol: error: NodeNames=dgpu502-17-r CPUs=1 match no Sockets, Sockets*CoresPerSocket or Sockets*CoresPerSocket*ThreadsPerCore. Resetting CPUs.

I've edited nodes.conf file adding "CPUs=<count>" for each record and the error disappeared..  that's easy for a small cluster, but do I have to do the same for each record in our files while upgrading next week?

Hi Ahmed,

It is not happening on my side.
Can you upload your configuration files here to try to reproduce it?

Thanks

Hi,

In bug 9241 I have discovered that one must replace "Boards=1 SocketsPerBoard=2" by "Sockets=2".  This solved the issue for me.

Comment 6 Felip Moll 2020-06-16 11:15:05 MDT

I see the issue and I am working on it.

There were some changes in commit 60c6a1f8f88 which are reflected in 20.02 RELEASE_NOTES and NEWS:

Release notes:
NOTE: Slurmctld is now set to fatal in case of computing node configured with
      CPUs == #Sockets. CPUs has to be either total number of cores or threads.


News:
 -- NodeName configurations with CPUs != Sockets*Cores or
    Sockets*Cores*Threads will be rejected with fatal.


But I don't think what you're seeing is entirely correct, at least it would need clarification.

I will come back when I've figured it out.

Hi,

This is fixed in commit 73ff1b200776 which will be available in 20.02.4.

The workaround is what Ole commented in comment 3, for the moment just don't use Boards and SocketsPerBoard and use Sockets instead.

Marking the bug as fixed.

Thanks for reporting.

Thanks for the bug fix, Felip!
