You could use features for that? A feature can be assigned to nodes and you can request nodes with specific feature for a job: In slurm.conf: NodeName=node001 CPUs=1 Feature=hasdatabase ...

[slurm-users] Request nodes with a custom resource?
Dear slurm-user list, how would you implement a custom resource requirement? For example you have a group of nodes that has direct access to a large database so it would be best to run jobs regarding that database on those nodes. How would you schedule a job (let's say using srun) to work on these nodes? Of course this would be interesting in a dynamic case, too (assuming that the database is downloaded to nodes during job execution), but for now I would be happy with a static solution (where it is okay to store a value before that says something like "hasDatabase=1" on nodes. So I am basically looking for custom requirements. Best regards, Xaver Stiensmeier
