Description John Stile 2021-10-12 09:42:14 MDT

'scontrol update reservation' does not support += and -= for a nodelist.

The user has to do a lot of work to do this:
  1. get the current list formatted correctly,
  2. Add or remove as needed
  3. Update the reservation

This request asks 'scontrol update' to do the heavy lifting, by taking the change list and applying it to the reservation.

Hey John - the idea you suggest here sounds interesting although I can not see this being implemented at least not without a site sponsoring this. 

If you are unsure what sponsoring means, this is when a site financially sponsors the development of a feature.

Would you be interested in sponsoring this enhancement?

Hi Jason,

Could you change the site for this to NERSC please?

All the best,
Chris
