SINFO Node States
In SINFO reports, the strings below are the only possible values of the STATE column, indicating the
current status of a node, a set of nodes, or a node partition. STATE codes with * appended indicate that a
reported node is not responding (SLURM does not allocate new work to such nodes, which eventually
enter the DOWN state).
The default width of the STATE column is 5 characters, but SINFO option -o (--format) can change
this and the reported STATE codes will lengthen or shorten to fill the allowed spaces. SINFO option -t
(--states) will limit your report to only those nodes with the (comma-delimited list of) state(s) that you
specify.
A separate section covers SQUEUE's job state codes (page 52).
ALLOC[ATED] means that this node (or set, or partition) has already been assigned to one or more
jobs.
COMP[LEATING]
means that job(s) assigned to this node are already terminating. COMPLETING
disappears when all of the job's processes as well as the SLURM epilog program (if
any) have terminated. See the slurm.conf MAN page for details.
DOWN means that this node is unvailable for jobs. SLRUM automatically declares nodes
DOWN if some failure occurs. Also, system administrators may declare a node
DOWN. If a node resumes normal operation, SLRUM can automatically return it to
service. See ReturnToService and SlurmdTimeout descriptions in the slurm.conf
MAN page for more details.
DRAIN[ED] means that this node has been declared unavailable by a system administrator using
SCONTROL's UPDATE command.
DRAINING [DRNG] means that this node is currently running a job, but it will not be allocated
to additional jobs. The node state changes to DRAINED when the last job on it
completes. System administrators put nodes in this state by using SCONTROL's
UPDATE command.
IDLE means that this node is not currently assigned to any jobs and it available for use.
UNK[NOWN] means that the SLRUM controller has just started and hence this node's real status
has not yet been determined.
