Constrain the processing nodes used by the parallel engine

Post by XRAY »

You can constrain the processing nodes used by the parallel engine either by removing node descriptions from the configuration file or by constraining a job or stage to a particular node pool.

How to constraining a job or stage to a particular node pool ?

"Node map Constraint" at Advanced tab of Stage will help you for Stage.

The configuration file will constrain a job to a particular node pool. If you desire to have different jobs run on different node pools, you will need to have separate configurations files for them.

You could alternately use the node map constraint option (mentioned by Ravi) for every stage in a job to achieve similar results, but using the configuration file is the best method at the job level.

You can not use node pools (or disk pools) until the active configuration file mentions those pools.

Thank you for all your replies, I didn't know there is a feature "node map constraint" :>
