It looks like you have something on your network with an older version of slurm installed. I'd check the Slurm version installed on your compute nodes and controllers.<br>
<br>
The recommended approach to upgrading is to upgrade the SlurmDB first, then the controllers, then the compute nodes. More info here:<br>
