Yeah, we use dnf. I do:
dnf update slurm slurm-libpmi slurm-devel slurm-contribs slurm-slurmctld
slurm-perlapi slurm-slurmrestd slurm-slurmdbd
For the autorestart compare:
https://github.com/SchedMD/slurm/blob/cead8b9d2c2360f976c77d9e9e7ab875de9d867d/slurm.spec#L775
With:
https://github.com/fasrc/slurm-spec/blob/75ec489f2a8da057432495c0a726ed8085584e98/slurm.spec#L800
You can see that in the official spec it has:
%systemd_postun_with_restart slurmdbd.service
Which means when the rpm is uninstalled it restarts the service. You
don't want that to happen in this case as that can mess up the slurmdbd
(unless you increase the systemd timeouts). So in our spec we nerf it
and understand that we have to force a restart rather than letting dnf
do the restart itself.
Basically its a paranoia step we take as we have been bitten by it
before as our database got messed up due to this exact thing happening
and we had to reimport our backup (which is why you take a backup)

Thank you Paul. That helps a lot.
Regarding item 4., do you use `dnf` or `rpm` to install the RPMs? What's your
syntax?
Also in 4., I may need to rebuild my RPMs anway, as I may have to update an option.
What's the option to "neutered the autorestart function"?
Thanks for your help, Ron
