[slurm-users] AllocNodes on partition no longer working

[Sajdak, Doris]

Thanks Chris!  That worked.  We'd tried IP address but not FQDN.

It's working here - though we got caught out with that because the IP address was being resolved to the FQDN of the node and not the short name we had in our config file.

To see what your system is resolving the IP address to now use scontrol to set your debug level to "debug2" and see what it reports when the test fails (it would be nice if Slurm actually logged that as an error).

All the best,
Chris
