Hi, I'm developing a virtualization layer to dynamically feed virtual nodes to SLURM, based on user requests. These nodes can be virtual machines running on physical nodes of a cluster or come from cloud computing service providers or what else you can imagine....
Once the node (running slurmd) is up and running, I add the relevant configuration entry to the SLURM configuration file and issue an "scontrol reconfigure" command for the controller to pick it up. Are there better ways to dynamically manage nodes? Are there reconfiguration consequences I should be aware of? Thanks, Jonathan
