Hi,
has anyone got the acct_gather_energy/ipmi plugin to work correctly? In
acct_gather.conf I have the lines
EnergyIPMIFrequency=30
EnergyIPMICalcAdjustment=yes
and in slurm.conf
DebugFlags=Profile
AcctGatherNodeFreq=30
AcctGatherEnergyType=acct_gather_energy/ipmi
However, the end result is that in the slurmd logs when starting slurmd
a line like
[2014-08-28T10:44:52.179] Power sensor not found.
appears.
I suspect that the reason is related to the fact that I cannot retrieve
the power readings with the "ipmi-sensors" command. With "ipmi-sensors
-W discretereading" I can get a reading for the power supplies, but it
seems to be the nameplate capacity rather than the current consumption.
Same for using ipmitool and ipmiutil rather than ipmi-sensors.
However, using "ipmi-dcmi --get-system-power-statistics" (part of
freeipmi) does appear to work.
So my question, I guess, is that is there some way to configure the
acct_gather_energy/ipmi plugin to retrieve these DCMI power values
instead of whatever it tries to do now? I looked briefly into the source
code and there is a big bunch of undocumented "EnergyIPMIxxxx"
configuration parameters, but I didn't figure out if any of those could
be used to use DCMI.
(The hardware in question is various HP Proliant servers somewhere
between 1 and 4 years old)
