The variable ControlMachine=linux0

The output from hostname is ip-10-0-0-37.us-west-2.compute.internal

So I should set ControlMachine=ip-10-0-0-37.us-west-2.compute.internal ?

What is the value of ControlMachine= in your slurm.conf?

For the OSS EU workshop I was setting it to the value of what 'hostname'
returned.

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 execute the commands:

but get the error message:

Any suggestions on how I resolve this issue.
