SLURM Reference Manual for HP XC System Software

lename is a le that contains node information in either of the previous two
formats (SRUN interprets any string containing the slash (/) character
as a le name).
-x hosts (lowercase, --exclude=hosts)
species by name the individual nodes that must be excluded from the set of nodes
on which your job runs (perhaps along with others unspecied). Option -x is
incompatible with SRUN option -r (--relative). Here hosts may have any of three
formats:
host1,host2,... is a comma-delimited list of node names (e.g., mcr100,mcr200,...).
host[na-nb,nc,...] is a range of node names, perhaps mixed with individual nodes in a
comma-delimited sublist (e.g., mcr[1-256,500,...]).
lename is a le that contains node information in either of the previous two
formats (SRUN interprets any string containing the slash (/) character
