Note: drain means that the node is up but is not accepting new jobs. If jobs were running on the node it would say drng: the running jobs would be allowed to complete at which time the node would enter the drain state. A node is “drained” by the cluster administrators for maintenance or updates.

A state of mix is shown for a node which is partially allocated, and alloc for a node which is completely allocated.

sinfo can also be used to show the total resources available on a node (i.e. number of cores and amount of memory). To get a list of this information for all nodes you could use a command like the following.

sinfo -p standard -N -o "%n %m %c"
