Not directly Slurm related but don't forget to install and configure etckeeper first. It puts your /etc/ directory under git version control and will do commits of changes before and after any package upgrade/install/removal so you have a good history of changes made. I'm assuming that the slurm config files in the Debian package are under /etc so that will be helpful to you for this. > Anyway there have been a lot of major changes in SLURM and in Debian since > 2013 (Wheezy release date), so be prepared that it will be no picnic. The Debian package name also changed from slurm-llnl to slurm-wlm at some point too, so missing the intermediate release may result in that not transitioning properly. To be honest I would never use a distros packages for Slurm, I'd always install it centrally (NFS exported to compute nodes) to keep things simple. That way you decouple your Slurm version from the OS and can keep it up to date (or keep it on a known working version). All the best!
