Setting Execution mode
In order to set the Execution mode:
- Select the Execution mode and click on Apply or OK.
The settings for the execution mode of the Workgroup are:
- Run on the least busy node in the workgroup - This selection will cause the scheduler to choose the node that is currently running the least number of jobs based on it's power rating, job limit and Vote count.
- Run on the first accessible node in the workgroup - This selection will cause the scheduler to find the node that is first accessible based on it's order in the members list.
- Run on all nodes in a round robin fashion - This selection will run jobs throughout the Workgroup in a round robin fashion. In other words, the first job will run on the first node in the Workgroup, the second will run on the second node, etc.
- Run on ALL nodes in the workgroup - This selection will cause the scheduler to run every job on every node. Keep in mind that this will cause multiple runs of each job. Once a job runs with the run-on-all workgroup type, all downstream jobs are required to be controlled by a workgroup that is also of type run-on-all. In addition, the node where each job instance is running must be a member of that workgroup.
The following cases are explicitly NOT supported:- A stream is run on all, and the initiated job is NOT controlled by a workgroup.
- A stream is run on all, and the initiated job is controlled by a workgroup, but the submit policy is NOT run-on-all.
- A stream is run on all, and the initiated job is controlled by a run-on-all type workgroup, but the local node is NOT a member of that workgroup.
- No jobs can run in this workgroup - No jobs will run in the Workgroup
