I am putting together an upgrade plan for slurm on our HPC. We are

You should be able to upgrade 2 Slurm major versions in one step. The
18.08 version is just about to become unsupported since 20.02 will be
released shortly. We use 19.05.5.
I have collected a number of upgrading details in my Slurm Wiki page:

You really, really want to perform a dry-run Slurm database upgrade on a
test machine before doing the real upgrade! See

I understand we will have to also upgrade the version of mariadb from 5.5
to 10.X and pay attention to 'long db upgrade from 17.02 to 18.X or 19.X'
and 'bug 6796' amongst other things.
We use the default MariaDB 5.5 in CentOS 7.7. Upgrading to MariaDB 10
seems to have quite a number of unresolved installation issues, so I would
skip that for now. Se s
We would appreciate your comments/recommendations
Slurm 19.05 works great for us. We're happy with our SchedMD support
contract.
