Hello all.  
Receiving the error in the title above. I have verified that the file exists.  
OoD is on one server and AWS Parallel Cluster is on a second server.

I have searched the logs and couldn’t find anything that would tell me what this error is.  
I’m using the RStudio interactive app example as a test.

Thanks.

On which server? It needs to exist on the server that OOD is installed on. Or you can add a `submit_host` to the `cluster.d/slurm.yml` and the system will ssh into that host and issue commands (like `/opt/slurm/bin/sbatch`).

By default the system will use the localhost’s filesystem. localhost being the host that OOD is installed & running on.

Thanks for the clarification, very helpful.  
I do have submit\_host configured in cluster.d/slurm.yml.  
sh-4.4$ sudo cat example2.yml  
v2:  
metadata:  
title: “test-al2”  
login:  
host: “10.121.123.123”  
submit\_host: “10.121.123.123”  
job:  
adapter: “slurm”  
cluster: “test-al2”  
bin: “/opt/slurm/bin”  
conf: “/opt/slurm/etc/slurm.conf”  
batch\_connect:  
basic:  
script\_wrapper: |  
module purge

It should be within the `job` section, not `login`.

```yaml
v2:
  job:
    submit_host: '10.10.123.213'

```
