Running slurm 2.5.7 and tried to reserve the nodes of the cluster because of hardware issues that needed to be repaired. Some of the nodes were allocated with jobs and others were not. Tried to do the following but got an error that the Nodes were busy and the reservation was not set.
scontrol create reservation flags=ignore_jobs,maint starttime=now endtime=yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm partition=blah It would not work. Is there a way of setting system reservations on a partition even if there running jobs allocated to nodes? Thanks Jackie
