The Parallel Job Developer's Guide chapter titled The Parallel Engine Configuration File is a really good place to start.

The only thing that Chapter doesn't cover well - it's elsewhere in the manual - it how node pools and disk pools are used.

A stage can be restricted to operate on fewer nodes than are specified in the configuration file, by specifying that that stage will executed in a node pool. For example, you may have a DB2 table with four partitions. In a six node configuration file you may specify a four node DB2 node pool so that you can most accurately stream data into each partition of the table.
