I'd like to emphasis the importance of doing the DB upgrade in this way, 
do not use systemctl for this as if systemd runs out of patience waiting 
for slurmdbd to finish the migration and start up it can kill it part 
way through the migration.

Fortunately not something I've run into myself, but as our mysqldump of 
our production DB is approaching 100GB now it's not something we want to 
run into!

All the best,
Chris
