Dear Slurm User list, using https://slurm.schedmd.com/power_save.html we had one case out of many (>242) node starts that resulted in
|slurm_update error: Invalid node state specified| when we called: |scontrol update NodeName="$1" state=RESUME reason=FailedStartup| in the Fail script. We run this to make 100% sure that the instances - that are created on demand - are again `~idle` after being removed by the fail program. They are set to RESUME before the actual instance gets destroyed. I remember that I had this case manually before, but I don't remember when it occurs. Maybe someone has a great idea how to tackle this problem. Best regards Xaver Stiensmeier
