For the record we filed a bug on this years ago:
https://bugs.schedmd.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3875 Hasn't been fixed yet
though everyone seems to agree it is a good idea.
Florian's suggestion is probably the best stopgap until this feature is
implemented.

Durai,
To overcome this, we use noXXX features like below. Users can then
request “8268&noGPU&EDR” to select nodes with 8268s on EDR without
GPUs for example.
# scontrol show node node5000 |grep AvailableFeatures
AvailableFeatures=192GB,2933MHz,SD530,Platinum,8268,rack25,EDR,sb7890_0416,enc2514,24C,SNCoff,*noGPU*,DISK,SSD
Cheers,

*Subject:* [External] [slurm-users] How to exclude nodes in sbatch/srun?
Hi,
The sbatch/srun commands have the "--constraint" option to select
nodes with certain features. With this you can specify AND, OR,
matching OR operators. But there is no NOT operator. How do you
exclude nodes with a certain feature in the "--constraint" option? Or
is there another option that can do it?
Thanks,
