Is it possible to define, and use, a subset of all available nodes in a partition *without* explicitly setting aside a number of nodes (in a static Nodes=... definition)? Let's say I want, starting with a 100-node cluster, make 20 nodes available for jobs needing an extended MaxTime and Priority (compared with the defaults) - and if these 20 nodes have been allocated, no more nodes will be available to jobs submitted to this particular partition, but the 20 nodes may cover a subset of all nodes changing over time (as it will not be in use very often)?
Can this be done with Slurm's built-in functionality, 15.08.8 or later? Any pointers are welcome...
