NAME

       slurmdbd - Slurm Database Daemon.

SYNOPSIS

       slurmdbd [OPTIONS...]

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

       -D     Run slurmdbd in the foreground with logging copied to stdout.

       -h     Help; print a brief summary of command options.

       -n <value>
              Set the daemon's nice value to the specified value, typically a negative number.

       -R[comma separated cluster name list]
              Reset  the  lft  and rgt values of the associations in the given cluster list.  Lft and rgt values
              are used to distinguish hierarchical groups in the slurm accounting database.  This option  should
              be very rarely used.

       -s     Change working directory of slurmdbd to LogFile path if possible, or to /var/tmp otherwise.

       -v     Verbose  operation.  Multiple  v's  can  be  specified,  with each 'v' beyond the first increasing
              verbosity, up to 6 times (i.e. -vvvvvv).

       -V     Print version information and exit.

CORE FILE LOCATION

       If slurmdbd is started with the -D option then the core file will  be  written  to  the  current  working
       directory.   Otherwise  if  LogFile  in  "slurmdbd.conf"  is a fully qualified path name (starting with a
       slash), the core file will be written to the same directory as the log file, provided SlurmUser has write
       permission on the directory.  Otherwise the core file will be written to "/var/tmp/" as  a  last  resort.
       If neither of the above directories have write permission for SlurmUser, no core file will be produced.

SIGNALS

       SIGTERM SIGINT
              slurmdbd will shutdown cleanly, waiting for in-progress rollups to finish.

       SIGABRT
              slurmdbd will perform a core dump, then exit.  In-progress operations are killed.

       SIGHUP Reloads the slurm configuration files, similar to 'scontrol reconfigure'.

       SIGUSR2
              Reread  the  log  level  from the configs, and then reopen the log file.  This should be used when
              setting up logrotate(8).

       SIGCHLD SIGUSR1 SIGTSTP SIGXCPU SIGQUIT SIGPIPE SIGALRM
              These signals are explicitly ignored.

NOTES

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