Thank you for your pointers and sharing your experience.
My user base is likely small compared to other institutions. Currently, I have
about 10 users running about 30 jobs, with some started today and the oldest
started in September.
Regarding the "waiting a week" between updates, most of the jobs are short
lived, with some taking less than a week. Given that I don't have a short
WallClock value, I could update to 23.11 before those long jobs would have to
be stopped and restarted under the new slurm dæmons. Doing a couple updates
would give me ample practice and I can document the entire thing.
My "slurm_acct_db" database, I have daily, weekly, and monthly backups of it.
It's under 2 GB if I had to re-import it. I don't suspect the slurmdbd upgrade
will take long.
Prior to that DB backup, I have another script that backs up
`${StateSaveLocation}` and "/etc/slurm". This is referenced in
"https://slurm.schedmd.com/upgrades.html#backups";.
