Hello,

We recently updated Slurm version to 17.11.12. After the update, I got the error “An error occurred when submitting jobs for simulation 19: sbatch: error: Batch job submission failed: Unable to contact slurm controller (connect failure)” on Job Composer. We have no issue to submit a job through a terminal with 17.11.12. Maybe I missed something in OOD configuration. Can anyone help me how to debug this error?

I am now encountering this issue as well. What setting did you have to change to resolve the issue?
