Groups of nodes collection
To create and view groups of nodes. Groups of nodes make job submission easier because we can submit a job for a group of nodes instead of a separate job for each node.
To view this admin console page, click Jobs > Groups of nodes.
To create or delete a group, be authorized for the configurator role.
- Find
When you click Jobs > Groups of nodes, we can use the Find option to limit the groups of nodes to display. The Find results are displayed in the table that follows the Find and preferences options after you click Find. Clicking Reset clears the operators in column 2 and text in column 3.
Table 1. Find results
Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 This column lists the group name parameter, the job type parameter, the description parameter, and the maximum results parameter.
- Group name parameter, job type parameter, and description parameter: Valid operators for the find operation are = (equal to), != (not equal to), is null, and is not null.
- Group name parameter, job type parameter, and description parameter: String or partial string of a parameter. A partial string is designated using an asterisk (*). For example, setting the group name parameter to Region* finds all jobs with a group name that starts with Region.
We can search on an exact match for multiple items by including the items to match separated by commas. For example, we can search on two group names by entering Region1, Region2. When you search on more than one item, we cannot use the asterisk.
- Maximum results: Number of records that the find operation displays. Enter a value between one and the maximum number of records that can be retrieved as defined in the job manager configuration.
Example: If we have already defined groups Region1, Region2, Center1, and Center2, we can enter Region or Region* for column 3 and = for column 2 of the group name parameter. When you click Find, only groups Region1 and Region2 will be displayed in the collection.
- Group name
