What's New

v0.6.1: IN PROGRESS

All changes should be backwards-compatible with v0.6.0. Major enhancements are:

  • Adds support for Centos 8 using OpenHPC v2.0 (note only Centos 8.2 is listed compatible on the OpenHPC wiki). Previously was only Centos 7 / OpenHPC v1.
  • Role itself now installs appropriate OpenHPC release repo depending on OS version.
  • No restrictions on compute hostnames (previously required a sequential suffix).
  • Adds optional configuration of slurmdb and accounting to provide enhanced accounting/sacct functionality.
  • Adds features enabling use for image-based deploys, e.g. configure only a control node or only a compute node, configure but don't start services.
  • Munge key can optionally be user-supplied.
  • Node RealMemory in slurm.conf now defaults to ansible-derived value (was 1).
  • Testing massively expanded (see molecule/).
  • Adds slurm-lib-pmi package by default to to support use of srun with Intel MPI (see Slurm docs).
  • Support for slurm's "configless" mode with slurm.conf only on control node
