I just finished migrating a few dozen blade servers from torque to slurm.  They're all running Alma 8 currently with the slurm that is available from epel.  I do want to get it all upgraded to running Alma 9 and the current version of slurm.  Got one system set up as the slurmctld system running Alma 9.  I grabbed the tar ball and built RPMs for 9.x.  Got a few questions about the best path to proceed.

Can I use the Alma 9 system to build rpms for Alma 8?  I'm sure I can rig up an 8 system to build rpms on but thought I'd see if there was a way to do it on the one 9 system.

My plan will be to get the rpms built for 8 and 9, update the slurmctld system to the latest version of slurm, then update all the nodes to the current slurmd version.  Once that's done I should be able to reinstall individual nodes to Alma 9 and the same version of slurmd.

Am I missing anything in that sequence?  I'm fairly confident that the users aren't running any code that will notice the difference between a node running 8 or 9, that should be transparent to them.
