The --reservation is for sbatch, salloc, et al. It tells it that the
job should run in the specified reservation.

Re: [slurm-dev] Re: scontrol update not allowing jobs
Thanks for your feedbacl. Taking nodes out of maintenance still leaves
them in the reserved state "resv" but still unable to run jobs even
though I believe I've given the correct exception as shown in the
original post.
@Ryan: Yeah, I did specify the reservation, Reservation=root_13. The
-- before reservation is syntactically incorrect too. In fact, if you
don't specify which reservation is getting updated the scontrol
command won't work.
Best,
Glen

Did you try this: --reservation=root_13

Dear all,
Wrapping up a maintenance period and I want to run some test jobs
before I release the reservation and allow regular user jobs to
start running. I've modified the reservation to allow jobs from
my account:
$ scontrol show res
ReservationName=root_13 StartTime=2016-04-12T09:00:00
EndTime=2016-04-15T20:00:00 Duration=3-11:00:00
Nodes=ALL NodeCnt=220 CoreCnt=3328 Features=(null)
PartitionName=(null) Flags=MAINT,SPEC_NODES
TRES=cpu=3328
Users=bindatype Accounts=(null) Licenses=(null) State=ACTIVE
BurstBuffer=(null) Watts=n/a
but when I try to allocate a set of nodes I keep seeing the
following:
$ salloc -p defq -t 10
salloc: Required node not available (down, drained or reserved)
salloc: Pending job allocation 1692921
salloc: job 1692921 queued and waiting for resources
Note that all the nodes are currently in the maint state. Am I
missing something here or is this a problem with scontrol update?
