Hi everyone:
We are currently running business on SLURM21.08 and mariadb5.5.
When talking about the upgrade, we need to keep all the users and jobs history data. And we see the official document wrote:
“When upgrading an existing accounting database to MariaDB 10.2.1 or later from an older version of MariaDB or any version of MySQL, ensure you are running slurmdbd 22.05.7 or later. These versions will gracefully handle changes to MariaDB default values that can cause problems for slurmdbd.”
So is this mean we have to firstly build SLURM>22.05 over mariadb5.5, and do the SLURM upgrade. Then upgrade the mariadb to newer version, and rebuild the same version of SLURM over new mariadb-devel?
And is it safe to jump directly from mariadb5.5 to latest version? How can we check whether the slurm have correctly inherited the historical data?
Thanks,
