[slurm-users] Help with slurmdbd and Slurmctld

[stth via slurm-users]

Hello,

I wanted help with a problem I have. I just updated my operation system and the slurmdbd and slurmctld is not working anymore. I get this Errors: 

slurmdbd: fatal: Database schema is too old for this version of Slurm to upgrade.

slurmctld: fatal: Can not recover last_tres state, incompatible version, got 9472 need >= 9728 <= 10240,start with '-i' to ignore this. Warning: using -i will lose the data that can't be recovered.

I hope someone can help !

When you updated your operating system, you likely updated the version of slurm you were using too (assuming slurm had been installed from system repos instead of built source code).  Slurm only supports db and state files that are within 2 major versions older than itself. 

The fix is to uninstall the updated version of slurm on your system and reinstall the older version or a version at most 2 major versions newer than that.

You don't give any details about what upgrades you did, so it's not easy
to provide help.

In case you're upgrading Slurm within the same OS, there is some
information in this Wiki page:
