AlmaLinux 8 GPG Key has been updated causing Slurm packages to no longer install about cyclecloud-slurm HOT 3 CLOSED

For now, I have managed to get my AlmaLinux 8 Scheduler and Processing nodes to come up again by adding the new RPM GPG Key to the cloud-init script:

#cloud-config
runcmd:
 - rpm --import https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/RPM-GPG-KEY-AlmaLinux

from cyclecloud-slurm.

That's great news thanks. As a further follow up to my above temp fix, it can be improved by changing it to this:

#cloud-config
bootcmd:

• rpm --import https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/RPM-GPG-KEY-AlmaLinux

By using bootcmd, it runs early in the cloud-init process and crucially before any packages that are reference to install in the cloud-init (runcmd runs after).

Hence, if any packages in the cloud-init are signed by the new cert, they will also cause cloud-init to fail and the nodes not to start.

Hope that helps someone (as it foxed me).

Hello what you have described is the solution here, Adding that command to cloud-init should work. We ahve asked azhpc images team to include this in the images and they will also be publishing new versions of almalinux hpc image so this problem will be solved permanently then
