Shadd,
This should be doable with some work. If I were doing this the first thing I’d 
do do is reconcile all the differences in the slurm.conf of each cluster. Once 
all the clusters are running with the same settings, or you’ve decided on which 
cluster’s settings you want to use for the new combined cluster then just 
append the nodes and partitions from the other clusters into the one slurm.conf 
to rule them all. Push that file out to all the nodes and restart. 
As far as multi-OS within a single cluster goes I don’t think that Slurm really 
cares what OS is running. How you set it up is probably more a matter of what 
kind of applications you’re running. In a typical HPC cluster running MPI jobs 
you’re probably going to want to create a separate Slurm partition for each OS. 
Each job will then be confined to one partition. If you want jobs to be able to 
run on and communicate between nodes with different OS’s that could be 
possible, but I’d think that it’ll be a bigger headache than it is worth.
