[bug #64792] Bad IPMI DCMI response from Huawei and Xfusion BMCs

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #64792 (project freeipmi):

Hi Albert,

simply appears your board does not support DCMI.

You may well be right regarding the old Huawei servers.  But the very new
Xfusion FusionOne HPC 1288H V6 servers's datasheet claim to support DCMI, so
there may be hope?  My colleague and I would be happy to test, if there's some
way to get more detailed information from ipmi-dcmi when it's probing the
Xfusion BMC.

> - Are you looking for `ipmi-dcmi` to not return an error if an an error
occurs, so that the slurm logs do not get spammed?  I think such a workaround
would be better served through a wrapper script around `ipmi-dcmi`.

The fine folks at SchedMD have made a fix so that spamming will no longer
occur as of the next releases 23.02.7 and 23.11 of Slurm, see

We're really satisfied with this fix.
