Hi everyone,

I'm writing up some Ansible code to manage Slurm software updates, and I haven't found any documentation about slurmdbd behavior if the mysql/mariadb database doesn't upgrade successfully.

What I do know is that if it is sucessful I can expect to see "Conversion done: success!" in the slurmdbd log.  This is good, but minor updates do not update the database as far as I know.

If the Slurm database cannot upgrade upon an update, does it always shut down with a fatal error?  What other behaviors should I look for if there is a failure?

Cheers,

Phil Y
