Submit a job to specific hosts
Specify which hosts a job can run on.
About this task
When several hosts can satisfy the resource requirements of a job, the hosts are ordered by load.
However, in certain situations it can be desirable to override this behavior to give preference to
specific hosts, even if they are more heavily
loaded.
Note:
By specifying a single host, you can force your job to wait until that host is available and then run on that host.
Procedure
To indicate that a job must
run on one of the specified hosts, use the bsub -m "hostA hostB ..." option.
For example:
bsub -m "hostA hostD hostB" myjob
