Specifically the upgrade instructions are here:
http://slurm.schedmd.com/quickstart_admin.html
Look at the bottom of the page. If you follow the instructions you
should be fine. Though I would recommend pausing the scheduler by
suspending all the jobs and setting all the partitions to down. This
helps with keeping the database in lock step as jobs won't be exiting or
launching while you are upgrading the database.
You can do it live though, but you may end up with a few jobs in the
database that are inconsistent. The rest is very smooth and works
well. Just note that once you do a major upgrade like this there is no
rolling back due to the database and job structure changes.

I would backup /etc/slurm.
That's about it.
