Ansys Remote Solver with SLURM cluster

Question

I am trying to connect Ansys running on CentOS 7 to use our HPC cluster which using SLURM as a scheduler.

I have looked into all the configuration file I could think of. I even wrote my custom hps_commands_SLURM.xml file I get the error

Ansys.Rsm.Utilities.InvalidJobConfigurationFileException: : Expected element 'keyword' was not found in 'SLURM'

I know, this question isn't very specific. I am at a loss here and will update the question as we go. I could use some direction with this.

Answer 1

As it turns out, there is a file within the RSM directory called jobConfiguration.xml which has entries in the form

<keyword name="SOMENAME">
    <jobCode name="name of GenericJobCode file to link" />
    <hpcCommands name="name of HPC COMMAND file to link">
    </hpcCommands>
</keyword>

In my case, I had to link my hpc_commands_SLURM.xml and also link a GenericJobCode_SLURM.xml in the appropriate keyword segments.
