Find nodes
To build a list of nodes that we can use to choose the nodes on which you want the job to run. We can also find nodes to add to a group of nodes.
To view this admin console page, do either of the following:
- On step 2 of the Job submission wizard we can select Find.
- Click Jobs > Groups of nodes > group_name > Find.
- Find
When you click Jobs > Nodes, we can use the Find option to determine the nodes to display. The Find results are displayed in Available nodes after you click Find. Click Reset to clear the operators in column 2 and text in column 3.
Table 1. Find results
Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Except for the maximum results parameter, this column lists parameters that define nodes. The node name, job type, and unique identifier parameters are always available. The remaining parameters are for the node properties, dynamic, and built at runtime. The dynamic parameters are displayed when you click Advanced find options.
- All parameters except maximum results: Valid operators for the find operation are = (equal to), != (not equal to), is null, and is not null.
- All parameters except maximum results: String or partial string of a parameter. A partial string is designated using an asterisk (*).
For example, setting the node name parameter to Node* finds all jobs with a node name that starts with Node. We can search for an exact match for multiple items by including comma-separated items. For example, we can search on two node names by entering Node1, Node2 When you search for 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 the nodes are AppSvr01, AppSvr02, AppSvr03, and Test01, we can enter App or App* for column 3 and = for column 2 of the node parameter. The node names displayed in the table are AppSvr01, AppSvr02, and AppSvr03.
- Available nodes
Initial results of the Find option. The nodes are not included in the list we are building until you use the right arrow to move nodes into the chosen nodes list. We can select multiple items in the list, and move them simultaneously.
- Chosen nodes
List of nodes to be included in the group of nodes that you are creating. The left arrow is used to move nodes into the available nodes list. We can select multiple items in the list, and move them simultaneously.
