Hi Janna,
If you're running an old Slurm version, there may be bugs already resolved
in the later versions. You can search for bugs with ReqNodeNotAvail in
the title:
https://bugs.schedmd.com/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=ReqNodeNotAvail
For example, this one might be relevant:
https://bugs.schedmd.com/show_bug.cgi?id=9257
Upgrade to Slurm 20.02 is highly recommended.

In case your Arp cache is the problem, there is some advice in the Wiki page:

I think there are other causes for ReqNodeNotAvail, for example, the node
being allocated for other jobs. The "scontrol show node/job" should
reveal more details.

Hi Janna;
It sounds like a Arp cache table problem to me. If your slurm head node
can reachable ~1000 or more network devices (all connected network
cards, switches etc., even they are reachable by different ports of the
server), you need to increse some network settings at headnode and
servers which can reach same amount of network device :

Also some advices for big cluster at slurm documentation:

Hi All,
I’ve got an intermittent situation with gpu nodes that sinfo says are
available and idle, but squeue reports as “ReqNodeNotAvail”. We’ve
cycled the nodes to restart services but it hasn’t helped. Any
suggestions for resolving this or digging into it more deeply?
