Pre-installation
Create global user account
Slurm and MUNGE users need to have a consistent UID/GID across all nodes in the cluster. Creating global user accounts must be done before installing the RPMs. It can be done via LDAPAdmin or any services that you use to manage users. If you don't have access to those services, please contact your system administrators.
