Hello all, I just wanted to provide a head's up regarding a slight hiccup I experienced during our recent Slurm upgrade.
When I started the upgrade procedure with SlurmDBD first, the upgrade via RPM went through without an issue. I then attempted to start SlurmDBD and received no "OK" message. I then checked the logs and saw snippets like this: [2015-01-22T20:54:49.132] Accounting storage MYSQL plugin loaded [2015-01-22T20:54:49.132] error: Couldn't load specified plugin name for accounting_storage/mysql: Plugin missing a required symbol use debug3 to see [2015-01-22T20:54:49.132] error: cannot create accounting_storage context for accounting_storage/mysql [2015-01-22T20:54:49.132] fatal: Unable to initialize accounting_storage/mysql accounting storage plugin There wasn't any information to be consumed in the mailing list and a quick Google search resulted in no finds. As it turns out, all that needed to be done was upgrade the slurm-sql plugin. I then carried out the rest of the upgrade and no jobs were lost. I hope others find this information useful.
