If you run slurmd -C on the compute node, it should tell you what slurm thinks the RealMemory number is.

Thank you for the answers. is the RealMemory will be decided on the Total Memory value or total usable memory value. i mean if a node having 256GB RAM but free -g will tell about only 251 GB. deda1x1591:~ # free -g total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 251 67 184 6 0 47 so we can add the value is 251*1024 MB or 256*1024MB. or is there any slurm command which will provide me the value to add.

This can be done without affecting running jobs. 2. You can have a node in more than one partition. That will not hurt anything. Jobs are allocated to nodes, not partitions, the partition is used to determine which node(s) and filter/order jobs. You should add the node to the new partition, but also leave it in the 'test' partition. If you are looking to remove the 'test' partition, set it to down and once all the running jobs that are in it finish, then remove it.
