[slurm-users] sacctmgr: error: Sending PersistInit msg: Connection refused

[Ratnasamy, Fritz via slurm-users]

Hi,

 We are working on a test cluster with slurm 24.11.3 and I am getting this error message from the login or compute nodes (note that the error does not show when run from the controller node): 
sacctmgr list associations tree format=cluster,account,user,maxnodes
sacctmgr: error: _open_persist_conn: failed to open persistent connection to host:localhost:6819: Connection refused
sacctmgr: error: Sending PersistInit msg: Connection refused

Does someone know how fix that issue? 
Thanks,

You most likely need to configure AccountingStorageHost correctly in
slurm.conf to point to your slurmdbd host. The currently configured
localhost is an error!

It may be useful to configure Slurm with the Configurator tool at
https://slurm.schedmd.com/configurator.html
