hi, perhaps try to check and/or paste here the content of the slurmctld
log file which is configured in your slurm.conf:

# cat /etc/slurm/slurm.conf | grep SlurmctldLog
SlurmctldLogFile=/var/log/slurmctld.log
#

lot of errors have quite descriptive symptoms in this file.

cheers

I am experiencing a problem when trying to set up slurm on the
head/master node on CentOS

I execute the commands:
systemctl enable munge
systemctl enable slurmctld

systemctl start munge
systemctl start slurmctld

systemctl status munge
systemctl status slurmctld

but get the error message:

Any suggestions on how I resolve this issue.
