[slurm-users] single node configuration

[Alison Peterson via slurm-users]

Hi everyone, I'm conducting some tests. I've just set up SLURM on the head node and haven't added any compute nodes yet. I'm trying to test it to ensure it's working, but I'm encountering an error: 'Nodes required for the job are DOWN, DRAINED, or reserved for jobs in higher priority partitions.

What does "sinfo" tell you? Is there a running slurmd?
