Problem
SuspendTime=-1maps to SlurmINFINITE, which disables power-save when partitions do not define their own finiteSuspendTime. As a result,scontrol power down <node>cannot triggerSuspendProgramfor ephemeral nodes.Solution
Changed the default
SuspendTimeto1000000000, a large finite value that keeps Slurm power-save enabled while effectively avoiding automatic idle power down in normal operation. Updated the CRD documentation and added a render test for this value.Testing
Manually on the live cluster
Ran:
go test ./internal/render/commonRelease Notes
Changed the default Slurm
SuspendTimeto a large finite value so ephemeral node power-save commands can triggerSuspendProgramreliably. No migration is required; users can still overridespec.slurmConfig.suspendTimeexplicitly.
