The "Upgrades" section of the quick-start guide [0] warns:<br>
<br>
> Slurm permits upgrades to a new major release from the past two major<br>
> releases, which happen every nine months (e.g. 20.02.x or 20.11.x to<br>
> 21.08.x) without loss of jobs or other state information. State<br>
> information from older versions will not be recognized and will be<br>
> discarded, resulting in loss of all running and pending jobs.<br>
<br>
We are planning for an upgrade from 17.02.11 to 21.08.2. As a part of<br>
our upgrade procedure we'd be bringing the scheduler to full stop, so<br>
the loss of running and pending jobs would not be a concern. Is there<br>
anything more to state information than running and pending jobs? For<br>
example, would the JobID count revert to 1 in the case of such an<br>
upgrade?<br>
