• Support for configuring Multi-Instance GPUs (MIG) added in #656 - see docs/mig.md for full details.
• Changes to the stackhpc.openhpc role for the above also mean that parameters can be removed from slurm.conf. See stackhpc/ansible-role-openhpc#184.
• NVIDIA (open) drivers were upgraded to version 575.57.08 with cuda 12.9.1 in #703.

• RL9: openhpc-RL9-250624-0854-75099868

v1.161

What's Changed

Bumps slurm versions to fix CVE-2025-43904:

• Upgrade to OpenHPC/Slurm versions RL9=3.1.1/24.11.5 RL8=2.9.1/23.11.11 by @sjpb in #668
• Perform Slurm database upgrade if necessary by @sjpb in #670
• Automate image release by @sjpb in #671

Caution

This is a Slurm major version update for RockyLinux 9 (= OpenHPC v3) clusters.

These clusters will perform a Slurm database upgrade on slurmdbd startup. They will backup the entire state volume via a volume snapshot before performing the backup. See #670 and linked dependency PRs for full information.

v1.161-rc1

What's Changed

Bumps slurm versions to fix CVE-2025-43904:

• Upgrade to OpenHPC/Slurm versions RL9=3.1.1/24.11.5 RL8=2.9.1/23.11.11 by @sjpb in #668

Caution

This is a Slurm major version update for RockyLinux 9 (= OpenHPC v3) clusters.

These clusters will perform a Slurm database upgrade on slurmdbd startup. The startup timeout for that service has been increased to 45 minutes to allow for that. However it is recommended that this database (in /var/lib/state/mysql on the control node) is backed-up before starting slurmdbd, for example by snapshotting the $CLUSTER_NAME-state volume after the reimage (so the service is stopped) but before running the site.yml playbook.
