6 slurmdbd - Slurm Database Daemon.
7
10 slurmdbd [OPTIONS...]
11
14 slurmdbd provides a secure enterprise-wide interface to a database for
15 Slurm. This is particularly useful for archiving accounting records.
16 OPTIONS
18 -D Run slurmdbd in the foreground with logging copied to stdout.
20 -h Help; print a brief summary of command options.
22 -n <value>
24 Set the daemon's nice value to the specified value, typically a
25 negative number.
26 -R[comma separated cluster name list]
28 Reset the lft and rgt values of the associations in the given
29 cluster list. Lft and rgt values are used to distinguish hier‐
30 archical groups in the slurm accounting database. This option
31 should be very rarely used.
32 -s Change working directory of slurmdbd to LogFile path if possi‐
34 ble, or to /var/tmp otherwise.
35 -v Verbose operation. Multiple -v's increase verbosity.
38 -V Print version information and exit.
40
43 If slurmdbd is started with the -D option then the core file will be
44 written to the current working directory. Otherwise if LogFile in
45 "slurmdbd.conf" is a fully qualified path name (starting with a slash),
46 the core file will be written to the same directory as the log file,
47 provided SlurmUser has write permission on the directory. Otherwise
48 the core file will be written to "/var/tmp/" as a last resort. If nei‐
49 ther of the above directories have write permission for SlurmUser, no
50 core file will be produced.
51
54 SIGTERM SIGINT
55 slurmdbd will shutdown cleanly, waiting for in-progress rollups
56 to finish.
57 SIGABRT
59 slurmdbd will perform a core dump, then exit. In-progress oper‐
60 ations are killed.
61 SIGHUP Reloads the slurm configuration files, similar to 'scontrol re‐
63 configure'.
64 SIGUSR2
66 Reread the log level from the configs, and then reopen the log
67 file. This should be used when setting up logrotate(8).
68 SIGCHLD SIGUSR1 SIGTSTP SIGXCPU SIGQUIT SIGPIPE SIGALRM
70 These signals are explicitly ignored.
71
74 It may be useful to experiment with different slurmctld specific con‐
75 figuration parameters using a distinct configuration file (e.g. time‐
76 outs). However, this special configuration file will not be used by
77 the slurmd daemon or the Slurm programs, unless you specifically tell
78 each of them to use it. If you desire changing communication ports, the
79 location of the temporary file system, or other parameters used by
80 other Slurm components, change the common configuration file,
81 slurm.conf.
