My cluster manager vendor’s automated slurm setup is causing me the headache I believe. They want to overwrite certain things in the slurm.conf and slurmdbd.conf. This is good for a basic cluster to even a large cluster. But we are working outside that controlled box.
As for the external, if I build slurm from the latest source (16.x), connecting a 14.x or 15.x to it will be OK? Our goal was to have 1 database, but allow us to have our PRD and DEV clusters use it, then we could test the cluster upgrades, which include SLURM updates (major versions) on DEV before touching PRD. Everything I read point to this but there is no definitive answer anywhere. -Chad > On Sep 1, 2016, at 3:22 PM, Ryan Novosielski <[email protected]> wrote: > > No, I don’t see what reason that would be easier.
