Description
Required. Specifies how the exported resources are distributed among consumer
clusters.
The syntax for the distribution list is a series of share assignments. The syntax of each
share assignment is the cluster name, a comma, and the number of shares, all enclosed
in square brackets, as shown. Use a space to separate multiple share assignments.
Enclose the full distribution list in a set of round brackets.
◆ cluster_name
Specify the name of a remote cluster that will be allowed to use the exported
resources.
If you specify a local cluster, the assignment is ignored.
◆ number_shares
Specify a positive integer representing the number of shares of exported resources
assigned to the cluster.
The number of shares assigned to a cluster is only meaningful when you compare it
to the number assigned to other clusters, or to the total number. The total number
of shares is just the sum of all the shares assigned in each share assignment.
MEM
Syntax
MEM=
megabytes
Description
Used when exporting special hosts. Specify the amount of memory to export on each
host, in MB.
Default
- (provider and consumer clusters compete for available memory)
SLOTS
Syntax
SLOTS=
integer
Description
Required when exporting special hosts. Specify the number of job slots to export on
each host.
To avoid overloading a partially exported host, you can reduce the number of job slots
in the configuration of the local cluster.
SWAP
Syntax
SWAP=
megabytes
Description
Used when exporting special hosts. Specify the amount of swap space to export on each
host, in MB.
Default
- (provider and consumer clusters compete for available swap space)
TYPE
Syntax
TYPE=shared
Description
Changes the lease type from exclusive to shared.
If you export special hosts with a shared lease (using PER_HOST), you cannot specify
multiple consumer clusters in the distribution policy.
