Accounting for OpenHPC v2.1 and updated OpenHPC v2.0 clusters requires the Slurm database daemon, `slurmdbd`. To enable this:
 
 * Configure a mariadb or mysql server as described in the slurm accounting [documentation](https://slurm.schedmd.com/accounting.html) on one of the nodes in your inventory and set `openhpc_enable.database `to `true` for this node.
 * Set `openhpc_slurm_accounting_storage_type` to `accounting_storage/slurmdbd`.
