setres

Setting advanced reservations. Note: this will reserve the nodes, but not assign them to you. That is, you still have to submit the jobs in the usual way, specifying the reservation name with the -r option. Consequently, you will not see the existing reservations with bpstat; instead you need to run showres or diagnose -r to see the reservations.

Among the many arguments, the most important are:

-d <TIME_EXP>

The duration of the reservation.

-n <name>

The name of the reservation. -s <TIME_EXP> The starting time (either absolute time or how long from now). TASKS==<number> Number of nodes in the reservation

The time format for <TIME_EXP> is pretty intuitive:
[HH[:MM[:SS]]][_MO[/DD[/YY]]] - for example, 14:30_06/20 means 2:30pm on June 20th (this year), and 30:00:00 means 30 hours;
or
+[[[DD:]HH:]MM:]SS - for example +1:00:10:00 means in one day and ten hours from now.
