Configuring host partition fair share scheduling

Procedure

To configure host partition fair share, define a host partition in lsb.hosts.
Use the following format: 
Begin HostPartition 
HPART_NAME = Partition1 
HOSTS = hostA hostB ~hostC 
USER_SHARES = [groupA@, 3] [groupB, 7] [default, 1] 
End HostPartition
  • A host cannot belong to multiple partitions.
  • Optional: Use the reserved host name all to configure a single partition that applies to all hosts in a cluster.
  • Optional: Use the not operator (~) to exclude hosts or host groups from the list of hosts in the host partition.
  • Hosts in a host partition cannot participate in queue-based fair share.

    Hosts that are not included in any host partition are controlled by FCFS scheduling policy instead of fair share scheduling policy.
