Hi,
I need to temporarily dedicated one of our compute nodes to a single account. To do this, I was going to create a new partition but I'm running into an error where
scontrol create partition
outputs "scontrol: error: Invalid input: partition Request aborted" regardless of what parameters I give it. As far as I can tell, this should be allowed; the man page for scontrol has a whole section titled "Partitions - Specficiations for Create, Update, and Delete Commands". What am I missing?
Also, is there a better way to approach this? This is really just a one or two day thing and I'm a little surprised there's no easy way to cordon off a node for a user or a project without spinning up an entire partition. Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Hi Daniel,
you can create a reservation for the node for the said account.
Regards, Gerald Schneider

This looks perfect. Thank you very much.
