Guaranteed resource pools

Guaranteed resource pools provide a minimum resource guarantee to a group of users or other consumers.

Resource pools can optionally lend guaranteed resources that are not in use. During job scheduling, the order of job scheduling does not change, but some jobs have access to additional guaranteed resources. After the guaranteed resources are used, jobs run outside the guarantee following whatever other scheduling features are configured.

Note: Hosts that are not ready for dispatched jobs are not assigned to the guaranteed resource pool. This include hosts that are in unavail or unreach status, or hosts that are closed by the administrator.
