slurmdbd (18.08.5.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium The 18.08 slurmdbd will work with Slurm daemons of version 17.02 and above. You will not need to update all clusters at the same time, but it is very important to update slurmdbd first and having it running before updating any other clusters making use of it. The pid file for the slurmdbd daemon has been moved to /run, the installation process will update /etc/slurm-llnl/slurmdbd.conf for you if it points to the original location under /var/run/slurm-llnl The default value is now: PidFile=/run/slurmdbd.pid This parameter can be omitted Please be sure to update the value of this parameter on your cluster configuration management system. -- Gennaro Oliva Sat, 16 Feb 2019 14:11:05 +0100
