Hi Chad, Here is the most generally useful process I ended up with, implemented in a local custom utility script.
#Update slurm.conf everywhere #Stop slurmctld #Restart all slurmd processes #Start slurmctld per: https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/niflheim/SLURM#add-and-remove-nodes I think you only will affect running jobs if you delete a partition, then you have a different procedure: https://slurm.schedmd.com/faq.html#delete_partition However, I think there are a few other parameters in slurm.conf that may be more disruptive but they have warnings in the man page.
