I used clustershell nodeset command [1] as a helper to 'folding' our node lists. In our case the output can be condensed further when passed to SLURM since some of our systems have 2 sets of digits in their name.
$ nodeset -f c0611n1 c0611n2 c0612n1 c0612n2 c[0611-0612]n1,c[0611-0612]n2 SLURM: Nodes=c[0611-0612]n[1-2] Add a few nodes: $ nodeset -f c0611n1 c0611n2 c0612n1 c0612n2 c0615n1 c0615n2 c[0611-0612,0615]n1,c[0611-0612,0615]n2 SLURM: Nodes=c[0611-0612,0615]n[1-2] - Trey [1]: https://github.com/cea-hpc/clustershell/wiki/nodeset ============================= Trey Dockendorf Systems Analyst I Texas A&M University Academy for Advanced Telecommunications and Learning Technologies Phone: (979)458-2396 Email: [email protected] Jabber: [email protected] On Wed, Nov 4, 2015 at 11:05 AM, Kumar, Amit <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear All, > > > > Want to learn how most of you mange partitions and changes to them do. > > > > For example: I have hundreds of nodes in a partition, and when time comes > to shuffle a handful of them out of the partition and move it to another > partition, I find editing the nodes entries in the partition a bit > complicated when we have to split the list in between multiple times.
