[slurm-users] sacctmgr archive dump - no dump file produced, and data not purged?

[Chin,David]

Hi all:

I have a new cluster, and I am attempting to dump all the accounting data that I generated in the test period before our official opening.

Installation info:

• Bright Cluster Manager 9.0
• Slurm 20.02.6
• Red Hat 8.1

In slurmdbd.conf, I have:

    ArchiveJobs=yes

    ArchiveSteps=yes

    ArchiveEvents=yes

    ArchiveSuspend=yes

On the commandline, I do:

    $ sudo sacctmgr archive dump Directory=/data/Backups/Slurm PurgeEventAfter=1hours PurgeJobAfter=1hours PurgeStepAfter=1hours PurgeSuspendAfter=1hours

    This may result in loss of accounting database records (if Purge* options enabled).

    Are you sure you want to continue? (You have 30 seconds to decide)

    (N/y): y

    sacctmgr: slurmdbd: SUCCESS

However, no dump file is produced. And if I run sreport, I still see data from last month. (I also tried "1hour", i.e. dropping the "s".)

Is there something I am missing?

Thanks,

    Dave Chin

Well, I seem to have figured it out. This worked and did what I wanted to (I think):

    $ sudo sacctmgr archive dump Directory=/data/Backups/Slurm PurgeEventAfter=1hour \

          PurgeJobAfter=1hour PurgeStepAfter=1hour PurgeSuspendAfter=1hour \

          PurgeUsageAfter=1hour Events Jobs Steps Suspend Usage

This generated various usage dump files, and the job_table and step_table dumps.
