SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Walk through connecting a new compute cluster to RACA, writing config to .raca/clusters.yaml and verifying connectivity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase 0: Identify Cluster Type and gather SSH/host information
  • Phase 1a: SLURM cluster setup including accounts, partitions, and connectivity checks
  • Phase 1b: RunPod setup flow for cloud GPU provisioning
  • Phase 1c: Local GPU discovery and configuration
  • Post-setup: cluster list, SSH access, file uploads, and sbatch template guidance

Quick Start

Start by selecting the cluster type (SLURM, RunPod, or Local) and follow the prompts to write the .raca/clusters.yaml entry and verify connectivity with raca.

Frequently Asked Questions about cluster-setup

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I connect a SLURM cluster to RACA for GPU compute jobs?▼

To connect a SLURM cluster to RACA, you configure SSH access, cluster credentials, accounts, and partitions by writing an entry to the .raca/clusters.yaml file. The setup process performs connectivity checks to ensure reliable access before usage.

How do I configure RunPod cloud GPUs in RACA?▼

Configuring RunPod in RACA involves selecting the RunPod cluster type and following the setup flow to write the configuration to .raca/clusters.yaml. This process provisions cloud GPUs and verifies connectivity using the raca CLI.

Do I need SSH access to set up a local GPU cluster in RACA?▼

SSH access and cluster credentials are required to complete authentication and verification for remote clusters. Local GPU discovery and configuration follows a separate setup flow that writes to .raca/clusters.yaml and validates connectivity.

What is the best way to validate compute cluster connectivity before running jobs in RACA?▼

The best way to validate compute cluster connectivity in RACA is by using the raca CLI to perform connectivity checks after writing your cluster entry to .raca/clusters.yaml. This ensures reliable access to accounts, partitions, and scratch paths before usage.

Why does my RACA cluster setup fail during connectivity verification?▼

RACA cluster setup may fail during connectivity verification if SSH access is improperly configured, cluster credentials are missing, or the raca CLI is not installed. The configuration written to .raca/clusters.yaml requires valid authentication to pass checks.

Can I use RACA to manage multiple compute clusters like SLURM and RunPod simultaneously?▼

Yes, RACA supports managing multiple compute clusters simultaneously by writing separate entries for SLURM, RunPod, or local GPUs to the .raca/clusters.yaml file. You can list clusters, access SSH, upload files, and generate sbatch templates post-setup.
