HOSTS
Syntax
HOSTS=all [~]host_name ... | all [~]host_group ...
HOSTS
( [-] | all [~]host_name ... | all [~]host_group ... )
Description
A space-separated list of hosts, host groups defined in lsb.hosts on which limits are
enforced. Limits are enforced on all hosts or host groups listed.
If a group contains a subgroup, the limit also applies to each member in the subgroup
recursively.
To specify a per-host limit, use the PER_HOST keyword. Do not configure HOSTS and
PER_HOST limits in the same Limit section.
If you specify MEM, TMP, or SWP as a percentage, you must specify PER_HOST and list the
hosts that the limit is to be enforced on. You cannot specify HOSTS.
In horizontal format, use only one HOSTS line per Limit section.
Use the keyword all to configure limits that apply to all hosts in a cluster.
Use the not operator (~) to exclude hosts from the all specification in the limit. This is useful
if you have a large cluster but only want to exclude a few hosts from the limit definition.
In vertical tabular format, multiple host names must be enclosed in parentheses.
In vertical tabular format, use empty parentheses () or a dash (-) to indicate all hosts. Fields
cannot be left blank.
Default
all (limits are enforced on all hosts in the cluster).
Example 1
HOSTS=Group1 ~hostA hostB hostC
Enforces limits on hostB, hostC, and all hosts in Group1 except for hostA.
Example 2
HOSTS=all ~group2 ~hostA
Enforces limits on all hosts in the cluster, except for hostA and the hosts in group2.
Example 3
HOSTS SWP (all ~hostK ~hostM) 10
Enforces a 10 MB swap limit on all hosts in the cluster, except for hostK and hostM
