NAME

SYNOPSIS

10       slurmdbd [OPTIONS...]
11
12

DESCRIPTION

14       slurmdbd  provides a secure enterprise-wide interface to a database for
15       Slurm. This is particularly useful for archiving accounting records.

OPTIONS

19       -D     Run slurmdbd in the foreground with logging copied to stdout.
20
21       -h     Help; print a brief summary of command options.
22
23       -n <value>
24              Set the daemon's nice value to the specified value, typically  a
25              negative number.
26
27       -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
33       -s     Change working directory of slurmdbd to LogFile path  if  possi‐
34              ble, or to /var/tmp otherwise.
35
36       -v     Verbose operation. Multiple -v's increase verbosity.
37
38       -V     Print version information and exit.
39

CORE FILE LOCATION

41       If  slurmdbd  is  started with the -D option then the core file will be
42       written to the current working  directory.   Otherwise  if  LogFile  in
43       "slurmdbd.conf" is a fully qualified path name (starting with a slash),
44       the core file will be written to the same directory as  the  log  file,
45       provided  SlurmUser  has  write permission on the directory.  Otherwise
46       the core file will be written to "/var/tmp/" as a last resort.  If nei‐
47       ther  of  the above directories have write permission for SlurmUser, no
48       core file will be produced.

SIGNALS

52       SIGTERM SIGINT
53              slurmdbd will shutdown cleanly, waiting for in-progress  rollups
54              to finish.
55
56       SIGABRT
57              slurmdbd will perform a core dump, then exit.  In-progress oper‐
58              ations are killed.
59
60       SIGHUP Reloads the slurm configuration files, similar to 'scontrol  re‐
61              configure'.
62
63       SIGUSR2
64              Reread  the  log level from the configs, and then reopen the log
65              file.  This should be used when setting up logrotate(8).
66
67       SIGCHLD SIGUSR1 SIGTSTP SIGXCPU SIGQUIT SIGPIPE SIGALRM
68              These signals are explicitly ignored.

NOTES

71       It may be useful to experiment with different slurmctld  specific  con‐
72       figuration  parameters  using a distinct configuration file (e.g. time‐
73       outs).  However, this special configuration file will not  be  used  by
74       the  slurmd  daemon or the Slurm programs, unless you specifically tell
75       each of them to use it. If you desire changing communication ports, the
76       location  of  the  temporary  file  system, or other parameters used by
77       other  Slurm  components,  change  the   common   configuration   file,
78       slurm.conf.
