Remote Cluster Submission

Hello,

We are installing a new OOD 3 instance on a machine that does not have SLURM installed yet. There is an “old” cluster that will be decommissioned soon, and a “new” cluster that is being spun up.

Is it possible to remotely connect to the individual SLURM clusters under clusters.d without installing the scheduler binaries on the OOD host, or is the OOD host as submit node a requirement?

Thanks!

You are likely looking for the bin_override which is documented here:
https://osc.github.io/ood-documentation/latest/installation/cluster-config-schema.html#bin-overrides

This will let you ssh in and run the command rather than have the binary on the web-node.
