Hi there Diego, Grazie per il vostro aiuto.
I had to use sudo to switch to the slurm user, as with myuser I got "slurm_update error: Invalid user id". $ sudo -u slurm scontrol update nodename=compute-0 state=resume This works (I think, as it returns no visual cue), but on running sinfo right after, the node is still "drained". $ sinfo --Node --long Tue Nov 07 10:08:27 2023 NODELIST NODES PARTITION STATE CPUS S:C:T MEMORY TMP_DISK WEIGHT AVAIL_FE REASON compute-0 1 all_nodes* drained 32 2:8:2 60000 0 1 (null) batch job complete f In my jobs (squeue) I now also have the failed jobs $ squeue --long -u $USER JOBID PARTITION NAME USER ST TIME NODES NODELIST(REASON) 9 all_nodes hello_wo myuser PD 0:00 1 (ReqNodeNotAvail, UnavailableNodes:compute-0) 11 all_nodes hello_wo myuser PD 0:00 1 (ReqNodeNotAvail, UnavailableNodes:compute-0) What am I missing here please?
