The dispatcher normally runs on the same host/VM as the API server.

Install the Perl SDK on the controller.

-h4. Slurm
+h2(#slurm). Set up SLURM
+
+On the API server, install SLURM and munge, and generate a munge key.
-On the API server, install slurm and munge, and generate a munge key:
+On Debian-based systems:
<notextile>
<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo /usr/bin/apt-get install slurm-llnl munge</span>
</code></pre>
</notextile>
-Now we need to give slurm a configuration file in @/etc/slurm-llnl/slurm.conf@. Here's an example:
+On Red Hat-based systems, "install SLURM and munge from source following their installation guide":https://computing.llnl.gov/linux/slurm/quickstart_admin.html.
+
+Now we need to give SLURM a configuration file in @/etc/slurm-llnl/slurm.conf@. Here's an example:
<notextile>
<pre>
PartitionName=compute Default=YES Shared=yes
NodeName=compute[0-255]
-
PartitionName=compute Nodes=compute[0-255]
</pre>
</notextile>
-Please make sure to update the value of the @ControlMachine@ parameter to the hostname of your dispatcher (api server).
+h3. SLURM configuration essentials
+
+Whenever you change this file, you will need to update the copy _on every compute node_ as well as the controller node, and then run @sudo scontrol reconfigure@.
+
+*@ControlMachine@* should be a DNS name that resolves to the SLURM controller (dispatch/API server). This must resolve correctly on all SLURM worker nodes as well as the controller itself. In general SLURM is very sensitive about all of the nodes being able to communicate with the controller _and one another_, all using the same DNS names.
+
+*@NodeName=compute[0-255]@* establishes that the hostnames of the worker nodes will be compute0, compute1, etc. through compute255.
+* There are several ways to compress sequences of names, like @compute[0-9,80,100-110]@. See the "hostlist" discussion in the @slurm.conf(5)@ and @scontrol(1)@ man pages for more information.
+* It is not necessary for all of the nodes listed here to be alive in order for SLURM to work, although you should make sure the DNS entries exist. It is easiest to define lots of hostnames up front, assigning them to real nodes and updating your DNS records as the nodes appear. This minimizes the frequency of @slurm.conf@ updates and use of @scontrol reconfigure@.
+
+Each hostname in @slurm.conf@ must also resolve correctly on all SLURM worker nodes as well as the controller itself. Furthermore, the hostnames used in the configuration file must match the hostnames reported by @hostname@ or @hostname -s@ on the nodes themselves. This applies to the ControlMachine as well as the worker nodes.
-h4. Crunch user account
+For example:
+* In @/etc/slurm-llnl/slurm.conf@ on control and worker nodes: @ControlMachine=uuid_prefix.your.domain@
+* In @/etc/slurm-llnl/slurm.conf@ on control and worker nodes: @NodeName=compute[0-255]@
+* In @/etc/resolv.conf@ on control and worker nodes: @search uuid_prefix.your.domain@
+* On the control node: @hostname@ reports @uuid_prefix.your.domain@
+* On worker node 123: @hostname@ reports @compute123.uuid_prefix.your.domain@
-* @adduser crunch@
+h3. Automatic hostname assignment
-The crunch user should have the same UID, GID, and home directory on all compute nodes and on the dispatcher (api server).
+If your worker node bootstrapping script (see "Installing a compute node":install-compute-node.html) does not send the worker's current hostname, the API server will choose an unused hostname from the set given in @application.yml@, which defaults to @compute[0-255]@.
-h4. Repositories
+If it is not feasible to give your compute nodes hostnames like compute0, compute1, etc., you can accommodate other naming schemes with a bit of extra configuration.
+
+If you want Arvados to assign names to your nodes with a different consecutive numeric series like @{worker1-0000, worker1-0001, worker1-0002}@, add an entry to @application.yml@; see @/var/www/arvados-api/current/config/application.default.yml@ for details. Example:
+* In @application.yml@: <code>assign_node_hostname: worker1-%<slot_number>04d</code>
+* In @slurm.conf@: <code>NodeName=worker1-[0000-0255]</code>
+
+If your worker hostnames are already assigned by other means, and the full set of names is known in advance, have your worker node bootstrapping script (see "Installing a compute node":install-compute-node.html) send its current hostname, rather than expect Arvados to assign one.
+* In @application.yml@: <code>assign_node_hostname: false</code>
+* In @slurm.conf@: <code>NodeName=alice,bob,clay,darlene</code>
+
+If your worker hostnames are already assigned by other means, but the full set of names is _not_ known in advance, you can use the @slurm.conf@ and @application.yml@ settings in the previous example, but you must also update @slurm.conf@ (both on the controller and on all worker nodes) and run @sudo scontrol reconfigure@ whenever a new node comes online.
+
+h2. Enable SLURM job dispatch
+
+In your API server's @application.yml@ configuration file, add the line @crunch_job_wrapper: :slurm_immediate@ under the appropriate section. (The second colon is not a typo. It denotes a Ruby symbol.)
+
+h2. Crunch user account
+
+Run @sudo adduser crunch@. The crunch user should have the same UID, GID, and home directory on all compute nodes and on the dispatcher (API server).
+
+h2. Git Repositories
Crunch scripts must be in Git repositories in the directory configured as @git_repositories_dir@/*.git (see the "API server installation":install-api-server.html#git_repositories_dir).

-h4. Running jobs
+h2. Running jobs
* @services/api/script/crunch-dispatch.rb@ must be running.
* @crunch-dispatch.rb@ needs @services/crunch/crunch-job@ in its @PATH@.
-* @crunch-job@ needs @sdk/perl/lib@ and @warehouse-apps/libwarehouse-perl/lib@ in its @PERLLIB@
-* @crunch-job@ needs @ARVADOS_API_HOST@ (and, if necessary in a development environment, @ARVADOS_API_HOST_INSECURE@)
+* @crunch-job@ needs the installation path of the Perl SDK in its @PERLLIB@.
+* @crunch-job@ needs the @ARVADOS_API_HOST@ (and, if necessary in a development environment, @ARVADOS_API_HOST_INSECURE@) environment variable set.
Example @/var/service/arvados_crunch_dispatch/run@ script:
export ARVADOS_API_HOST={{ site.arvados_api_host }}
export CRUNCH_DISPATCH_LOCKFILE=/var/lock/crunch-dispatch
+# This is the path to docker on your compute nodes. You might need to
+# change it to "docker", "/opt/bin/docker", etc.
+export CRUNCH_JOB_DOCKER_BIN=docker.io
+
fuser -TERM -k $CRUNCH_DISPATCH_LOCKFILE || true
