SLURM: Run programs in another node

Question

I've just finished the SLURM installation in our cluster. How do I run programs in node2 (slave) from node1 (head/controller node)? Is there a special configuration for this kind of setup?

Answer 1

Make sure that UIDs are uniform across the cluster nodes, and that a common filesystem (for instance NFS) is mounted on all nodes.

Then you run programs typically by submitting jobs with the sbatch command.

You can refer to this set of slides for a quick start.
