<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">About to embark on my first Slurm upgrade (building from source now, into a versioned path /opt/slurm/<vernum>/ which is then symlinked to /opt/slurm/current/ for the “in-use” one…) This is a new cluster, running 20.11.5 (which we now know
has a CVE that was fixed in 20.11.7) but I have researchers running jobs on it currently. As I’m still building out the cluster, I found today that all Slurm source tarballs before 20.11.7 were withdrawn by SchedMD. So, need to upgrade at least the -ctld and
-dbd nodes before I can roll any new nodes out on 20.11.7…</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As I have at least one researcher that is running some long multi-day jobs, can I down the -dbd and -ctld nodes and upgrade them, then put them back online running the new (latest) release, without munging the jobs on the running worker
nodes?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Will</p>
