By default nodes are eligible for scheduling meaning they can 13 receive placements and run new allocations. Nodes that have their scheduling 14 eligibility disabled are ineligible for new placements. 15 16 The [`node drain`][drain] command automatically disables eligibility. Disabling 17 a drain restore eligibility by default. 18 19 Disable scheduling eligibility is useful when draining a set of nodes: first 20 disable eligibility on each node that will be drained. Then drain each node. 21 If you just drain each node allocations may get rescheduled multiple times as 22 they get placed on nodes about to be drained. 23 24 Disabling scheduling eligibility may also be useful when investigating poorly 25 behaved nodes. It allows operators to investigate the current state of a node 26 without the risk of additional work being assigned to it. 27 28 ## Usage 29 30 ```plaintext 31 nomad node eligibility [options] <node> 32 ``` 33 34 A `-self` flag can be used to toggle eligibility of the local node. If this is 35 not supplied, a node ID or prefix must be provided. If there is an exact match, 36 the eligibility will be adjusted for that node. Otherwise, a list of matching 37 nodes and information will be displayed. 38 39 It is also required to pass one of `-enable` or `-disable`, depending on which 40 operation is desired. 41 42 If ACLs are enabled, this option requires a token with the 'node:write' 43 capability. 44 45 ## General Options 46 47 @include 'general_options_no_namespace.mdx' 48 49 ## Eligibility Options 50 51 - `-enable`: Enable scheduling eligibility. 52 - `-disable`: Disable scheduling eligibility. 53 - `-self`: Set eligibility for the local node. 54 - `-yes`: Automatic yes to prompts. 55 56 ## Examples 57 58 Enable scheduling eligibility on node with ID prefix "574545c5": 59 60 ```shell-session 61 $ nomad node eligibility -enable 574545c5 62 Node "574545c5-c2d7-e352-d505-5e2cb9fe169f" scheduling eligibility set: eligible for scheduling 63 ``` 64 65 Disable scheduling eligibility on the local node: 66 67 ```shell-session 68 $ nomad node eligibility -disable -self 69 Node "574545c5-c2d7-e352-d505-5e2cb9fe169f" scheduling eligibility set: ineligible for scheduling 70 ``` 71 72 [drain]: /docs/commands/node/drain
