I have access to a cluster, which contains several nodes, node01,node02, etc. The administrator has configured the Slurm profile of the cluster. When I run a script, it seems Slurm randomly assign a node for me.
Now, I want to run my program on a specific node, e.g. node01. As I do not have the admin privilege, I can only edit the profile of my own, under the menu Parallel->Manage cluster profile->edit. The only option that maybe related to node selecttion is the last one, i.e. cmd line arg.
Can I add cmd line arg to run my job on a specific node? Or is there any other configuration that non-admin user can edit?

--nodelist=node01
