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.
