Hi! We're looking for some feedback on the length of time that slurmdbd can be absent on a running system, e.g., maintenance of the slurmdbd host. The documentation and some experience tells us that slurmctld will cache the accounting data in the meantime, but we're a bit cautious about how long this can be safely done for. We're looking at under an hour, but it's a centralized slurmdbd for four busy clusters.
Any guidance out there? Thanks! Jeff Tan High Performance Computing Specialist IBM Research Collaboratory for Life Sciences, Melbourne, Australia Phone: +61 3 9035 4392
