What do you mean by management node, slurmctld? Or just a node with the client 
software on it?

Hello

I have a curiosity and question in the same time,

Will slurm-20.02 which is installed on a management node comunicate with 
slurm-22.05 installed on a work nodes?

They have the same configuration file slurm.conf

Or do the version have to be the same. Slurm 20.02 was installed manually and 
slurm 22.05 was installed through dnf.

Thank you

Felix

It is only possible for Slurm versions in a cluster to differ by 2 major 
versions.  The 22.05 slurmctld can therefore only work with slurmd 22.05, 
21.08 and 20.11. The documentation is in 
https://slurm.schedmd.com/quickstart_admin.html#upgrade


My Slurm Wiki page explains the details of how to upgrade Slurm versions: 
https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/Niflheim_system/Slurm_installation/#upgrading-slurm


Please note that the current version of Slurm is now 23.11, and that only 
23.11 and 23.02 are supported.  There are important security fixes that 
makes it important to upgrade to a supported version of Slurm.


I hope this will help you to make the upgrades.

Best regards,
Ole
