[slurm-users] maridb version compatibility with Slurm version

[navin srivastava]

Hi,

I have a question related to the mariadb vs slurm version compatibility.

Is there any matrix available?

We are running with slurm version 20.02 in our environment on SLES15SP3 and with mariadb 10.5.x . We are upgrading the OS from SLES15SP3 to SP4 and with this we see the mariadb version is 10.6.x. and we are not upgrading the Slurm version.

What is the best way to deal with this as we patch the server quarterly and keep the slurm version unchanged as I locked this at os level  but the mariadb version update happens and as far as i see it has no impact.  

is it good idea to keep the mariadb version also intact with the slurm version?

Regards

Navin.

I've regularly upgraded the mariadb version with out upgrading the slurm
version with no issue. We are currently running 10.6.7 for MariaDB on
CentOS 7.9 with Slurm 22.05.2.  So long as you do the mysql_upgrade
after the upgrade and have a backup just in case you should be fine.
