Hello,
We're adding some nodes to our cluster (17.02.5). In preparation, we've defined the nodes in our slurm.conf with "State=FUTURE" (as descibed in the man page). But it doesn't work like this, because when we start the slurmd on the nodes, the nodes immediately show up as idle.
When we manually run "scontrol update NodeName=XXX State=FUTURE" the node becomes invisible, as expected for State=FUTURE. However, after a restart of the node (or the slurmd), the node is in state idle again, and jobs get scheduled on the node...
So, how do we make the nodes go into State=FUTURE automatically? Or do we simply remove the node definitions until the nodes are ready? Robbert -- Robbert Eggermont Intelligent Systems [email protected] Electr.Eng., Mathematics & Comp.Science +31 15 27 83234 Delft University of Technology
