+<h3>Node State</h3>
+
+<p>Slurm gets node state information from ALPS.
+Use the Cray <i>xtprocadmin</i> command to set node state <i>up</i> or <i>down</i>.
+If a node state is <i>down</i> in Slurm and setting it back up using the
+<i>xtprocadmin</i> command fails, it may be necessary to destroy the
+<i>node_state*</i> files in your <i>StateSaveLocation</i> directory (as
+configured in Slurm), which will remove all of Slurm's node state information
+and force Slurm to rely completely upon ALPS for all node state information.
+Stop the <i>slurmctld</i> daemon, delete the files, and restart the daemon.</p>
