ipmi.conf(5)

NAME
ipmi.conf - Slurm configuration file for the ipmi plugin

DESCRIPTION
ipmi.conf is an ASCII file which defines parameters used by Slurm's ipmi related plugins. The file location can be modified at system build time using the DEFAULT_SLURM_CONF parameter or at execution time by setting the SLURM_CONF environment variable. The file will always be located in the same directory as the slurm.conf file.

Parameter names are case insensitive. Any text following a "#" in the configuration file is treated as a comment through the end of that line. The size of each line in the file is limited to 1024 characters. Changes to the configuration file take effect upon restart of SLURM daemons, daemon receipt of the SIGHUP signal, or execution of the command "scontrol reconfigure" unless otherwise noted.

The following ipmi.conf parameters are defined to control the general behavior of Slurm ipmi plugins.

Frequency=<number>
    This parameter is the number of seconds between BMC access samples.

CalcAdjustment=<yes|no>
    If set to "yes", the consumption between the last BMC access sample and a step consumption update is approximated to get more accurate task consumption. The adjustment is made at the step start and each time the consumption is updated, including the step end. The approximations are not cumulated, only the first and last adjustments are used to calculated the consumption. The default is "no".

PowerSensor=<number>
    This parameter is optional. The plugin will not search all available sensors to find the power sensor, but will just check the sensor is in Watt.

The following ipmi.conf parameters are defined to control the IPMI config default values for libipmiconsole.

Username=USERNAME
    Specify BMC Username.

Password=PASSWORD
    Specify BMC Password.
