Hey folks, when using PowerSaving, nodes which state is not IDLE, but DOWN, DRAIN, FAIL or even in MAINT, get set into PowerSaving-Mode and will be suspended.
I'm having the same problem. OpenHPC slurm 18.08.8 on CentOS 7.7. The only workaround I can think of right now is to double check in my suspend script if the node is really IDLE or not. But IMO slurm should only suspend the nodes that are idle or down, at least that's what's stated in the docs.
