[slurm-users] GPU Gres Type inconsistencies

Hi all,
I'm trying to set up GPU Gres Types to correctly identify the installed hardware (generation and memory size). I'm using a mix of explicit configuration (to set a friendly type name) and autodetection (to handle the cores and links detection). I'm seeing two related issues which I don't understand.
1. The output of `scontrol show node` references `Gres=gpu:tesla:2` instead of the type I'm specifying in the config file (`v100s-pcie-32gb`)
2. Attempts to schedule jobs using generic `--gpus 1` are working fine, but attempts to specify the gpu type (either with `--gres gpu:v100s-pcie-32gb:1` or `--gres gpu:v100s-pcie-32gb:1` fail with `error: Unable to allocate resources: Requested node configuration is not available`
If I've understood the documentation (https://slurm.schedmd.com/gres.conf.html#OPT_Type), I should be able to use any substring of what nvml detects the card as (`tesla_v100s-pcie-32gb`) as the Type string. With gres debug flag set, I can see the GPUs are detected, and matched up with the static entries in gres.conf correctly. I don't see any mention of Type=tesla in the logs, so I'm at a loss as to why scontrol show node is reporting `gpu:tesla` instead of `gpu:v100s-pcie-32gb` as configured. I presume this mismatch is the cause of the failure to schedule, because while the job spec matches the configured gpu type and should be schedulable, the scheduler doesn't actually see any resources of this type available to run.
The "tesla" string is the first "word" of the autodetected type, but I can't see why it would be being truncated to just this rather than using the whole string. I did previously use the type "tesla" in the config, which worked fine since everything matched up, but since does not adequately describe the hardware so I need to change this to be more specific. Is there anywhere other than slurm.conf or gres.conf where the old gpu type might be persisted and need purging?
I've tried using `scontrol update node=gpu2 gres=gpu:v100s-pcie-32gb:0` to manually change the gres type (trying to set the number of GPUs to 2 here is rejected, but 0 is accepted). `scontrol reconfig` then causes the `scontrol show node` output to update to `Gres=vpu:v100s-pcie-32gb:2` as expected, but removes the gpus from CfgTRES. After restarting slurmctld, the Gres, and cfgTRES briefly match up for all nodes, but very shortly after the Gres entries revert back to Gres=gpu:tesla:0 again, so back to square 1.
I've tried using the full tesla_v100s-pcie-32gb string as the type also, but this has no effect, the gres type is still reported as gpu:tesla only. This is all with slurm 23.02.3, on Rocky Linux 8.8, using cuda-nvml-devel-12-0-12.0.140-1.x86_64. Excerpts from configs and logs shown below.
Can anyone point me in the right direction in how to solve this? Thanks,
