We install to /usr/local/slurm/${version} and then have a symlink from
/usr/local/slurm/latest to whichever is the currently blessed version.
Then our healthcheck scripts check for the version of slurmd that is
running on the compute node with "readlink /proc/${SLURMPID}/exe" and if
it's not the right version we set an error condition to drain the node
(which will clear automatically when it's on the right version).
There is a section in the admin quickstart about upgrades here:

Best of luck!
