Well it turns out it was something else related to a Bright Computing
setting. In case anyone finds this thread in the future:

ourcluster->category[gpucategory]->roles]% use slurmclient
[ourcluster->category[gpucategory]->roles[slurmclient]]% show
...
RealMemory 196489092
...
[ ciscluster->category[gpucategory]->roles[slurmclient]]%

Values are specified in MB and this line is saying that our node has 196TB
of RAM.

I set this using cmsh:

# cmsh
% category
% use gpucategory
% roles
% use slurmclient
% set realmemory 191846
% commit

The value in /etc/slurm/slurm.conf was conflicting with this especially
when restarting slurmctld.
