[slurm-users] Database cluster

Community:

What do you do to ensure database reliability in your SLURM environment? We can have multiple controllers and multiple slurmdbds, but my understanding is that slurmdbd can be configured with a single MySQL server, so what do you do? Do you have that “single MySQL server” be a cluster, such as Percona XtraDB? Do you use MySQL replication, then manually switch to slurmdbd to a replication slave if the master goes down? Do you do something else?

Thanks.
