Hi all,
I’d like to update to SLURM version 24.11.4. I was searching for a recommendation for freeIPMI (power measurement), but couldn’t find one on the schedMD web-pages (sorry, if I overlooked it).
The latest available freeIPMI is 1.6.15 (https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/freeipmi/freeipmi-1.6.15.tar.gz). Does anyone knows whether this is the best choice? Many thanks in advance for any advice.
Cheers,
-Frank
Hi Frank,
The latest and greatest FreeIPMI version is 1.6.15, but you must build the RPM including Systemd support, see https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/Niflheim_system/Slurm_installation/#optional-prere...
Some additional remarks are in https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/Niflheim_system/Slurm_configuration/#ipmi-power-mo...
We have used the FreeIPMI plugin for a long time, and it works just great! We just upgraded to Slurm 24.11.4 today :-)

Although 1.6.15 is latest and greatest, there is already a patch https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/freeipmi-devel/2025-02/msg00000.html for an issue that was severe enough to fail to build on fedora42 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2340176. The patch is already in the new srpm in koji, so I would simply download that and see if can be built for rh

The issue and fix "Fix for GCC15 / C23 build failure" doesn't seem to be relevant for EL8 or EL9. The Systemd support must be configured in the RPM building as described - don't know if the Fedora 42 package includes this? The simple solution on EL8 is:
$ rpmbuild -ta --with systemd freeipmi-1.6.15.tar.gz
