[slurm-users] Slurm Upgrade from 17.02

[Marcus Wagner]

Hi Ricardo,

If I remember right, you can only upgrade two versions further. So you 
WILL have to upgrade to 18.08, even if you want to use 19.05 or the 
coming 20.02

17.02 -> 17.11 -> 18.08 -> 19.05 -> 20.02
^                  ^

|- you are here    |- "farthest jump" to a newer version in one step.


As SchedMD introduced constres in 19.05, consres will become depercated 
in future versions. The way you order GPUs is more consistent in the new 
version. So, I would upgrade to 19.05. Still you will have in a first 
step to upgrade to 18.08 though.


Best
Marcus
