[slurm-users] "Incompatible plugin version" after upgrade

[Alan Orth]

Dear list,

Twice this month I've had jobs stuck in completing state (CG). When I go to the compute node and check slurmd.log I see a message about "incompatible plugin version", for example:

[2022-08-16T03:36:25.823] [748139.batch] done with job
[2022-08-16T12:54:21.404] [748139.extern] plugin_load_from_file: Incompatible Slurm plugin /usr/lib64/slurm/hash_k12.so version (22.05.3
)
[2022-08-16T12:54:21.404] [748139.extern] error: Couldn't load specified plugin name for hash/k12: Incompatible plugin version

[2022-08-16T12:54:21.404] [748139.extern] error: slurm_send_node_msg: hash_g_compute: REQUEST_STEP_COMPLETE has error
[2022-08-16T12:54:21.404] [748139.extern] error: Rank 0 failed sending step completion message directly to slurmctld, retrying

For context, I did a minor upgrade of SLURM yesterday (22.05.2 to 22.05.3), so it's possible there is an incompatible version somewhere, but if I look up earlier in the log file I see that the running version of slurmd is correct and still prints that error right after startup:

I'm running SLURM 22.05.3. The slurmctld is running on CentOS 7, and compute nodes are on CentOS Stream 8 (not sure if this matters?).

Thanks for any advice,

As of Slurm 21.08, you have to recompile your spank plugins when you upgrade e.g. from 20.11 to 21.08, or from 21.08 to 22.05.
