[slurm-dev] Problem with power saving (slurm-16.05.4)

[Didier GAZEN]

Hi,

The patch introduced in commit b4904661 (not powering down dead node) 
has a bad side effect.  Adding the "(node_ptr->last_idle != 0)" 
condition prevents from powering down nodes with the following command:

scontrol update nodename=nX state=power_down

because the state update function relies on zeroing the "last_idle" 
variable when a power_down is requested (see src/slurmctld/node_mgr.c, 
line 1589).

Reverting this commit should solve the problem...but I let you decide...

Regards,

Didier
