You should be able to do this with out losing any jobs (at least I've never lost any on any version of Slurm I have run). I do it all the time in our environment (about once a day) as our slurm.conf is in flux quite a bit. It should always preserve the running and pending state. The only issue I have ever seen where this becomes a problem is in fringe cases during major version upgrades, even then it is rare.

Hello,

Some modifications to the slurm.conf require me to restart the slurmd daemons on all nodes. Is there a way to do this without loosing any running jobs (and not having to drain the cluster)?

Thanks,

Robbert
