Existing one is CentOS 6. Is this possible? Can I run two seperate slurmctld and slurmdbd point to the same slurm config and database?
You may want to read the statements from Tim Wickberg in slide 31 of the Slurm User Group presentation (https://slurm.schedmd.com/publications.html):

the additional complexity of a redundant MySQL deployment is more likely to cause an outage than it is to prevent one. So don’t bother setting up a redundant slurmdbd, keep slurmdbd + MySQL local to a single server.
