[slurm-users] Removing safely a node

Hi,

What is the "official" process to remove nodes safely? I have drained the nodes so jobs are completed and put them in down state after they are completely drained. I edited the slurm.conf file to remove the nodes. After some time, I can see that the nodes were removed from the partition with the command sinfo

However, I was told I might need to restart the service slurmctld, do you know if it is necessary? Should I also run scontrol reconfig? Best,
