[slurm-dev] Viewing Status of Inactive Cloud Nodes (sinfo?)

[Eric Lund]

Folks,
I am building a cluster around the Elastic Computing Cloud node 
mechanism to allow sharing of resources with applications that run under 
a higher level resource manager.  Everything works well, except that I 
have not found a way to "see" cloud nodes that are configured but not 
"powered on" using sinfo.  What sinfo reports is simply that there are 
zero nodes available.

This makes sense in terms of resource availability (slurm will have to 
go get some nodes in order to have them) but it is confusing to my 
users.  Is there some way that users can ask sinfo to report on cloud 
nodes that are powered down?
