Chris,

Interesting find. 
What do you see when you run "nodels dn[22-23]" ?

Having just tried to reprovision two nodes (dn22 and dn23), I've 
reprovisioned dn2 instead.

The command I ran was:

[[email protected] consoles]# rinstall dn[22-23] 
--osimage="apocrita-centos7.3-x86_64-install-compute" -u
Provision node(s): dn2

Needless to say, this hasn't been popular with the user running jobs on 
the node. This of course would work correctly with differently named 
files in the directory.


Perhaps

could warn about the necessity of quoting these on the command line (and 
even better give an example).
