QluMan doesn't care that your nodes are IBM Power machines and cannot boot qlustar images. Just register them as you would with x86 servers and do the slurm config for them. You cannot use the GPU wizard, but other than that everything will work. The slurm config is written out in flat files on /etc/qlustar/common (NFS), so if you mount that on your power nodes, you should have the correct config.
Concerning Ansgar's question: Slurm management can be disabled either totally by uninstalling slurm packages on the head-nodes or manually by not having any defined configs in QluMan (and never do write files for slurm). Currently, these are the only options.
Best,
Roland
