NAME

       ipmidetectd - IPMI node detection monitoring daemon

SYNOPSIS

       ipmidetectd [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION

       The  ipmidetectd  daemon  regularly  sends  out  IPMI  pings  to  determine  if nodes have
       functioning IPMI interfaces or not. It is primarily used to determine those nodes  in  the
       cluster  that  are  not functioning properly, allowing IPMI commands to be executed across
       the cluster faster by skipping those nodes that would automatically timeout.

       The ipmidetectd daemon must be configured using the ipmidetectd configuration file.  Until
       hosts to be pinged are configured, ipmidetectd will not function properly.

       See the ipmidetectd.conf(5) manpage for additional information.
