[slurm-users] Power saving and node weight

[Brian Andrus]

Gizo,

I had that issue and opened a ticket. It is not considered a bug but a 
feature request. They have no plans to address it at this time.

9734 – Jobs sent to higher weight idle node instead of starting lower 
weight node (schedmd.com) <https://bugs.schedmd.com/show_bug.cgi?id=9734>

You may be able to use the alternate approach that I was able to do as well.
