Exclusivity for certain job

Deadline
1

Hi,

I have a job, that need the exclusivity on my node. But only take 1 instance. And the other jobs jump on the unused instance. Is there any way i can avoid this ?

Thks !

Hi Fred,

Just to confirm, you want a job to only render one one specific node? You can use a Whitelist for that:
thinkboxsoftware.com/deadlin … it_Options

Or, do you want a specific node to ONLY pick up a specific type of job? You can use Groups for that:
thinkboxsoftware.com/deadlin … andgroups/

You can create a new Group and assign it to that node only, and then configure that node to ignore jobs in the “none” group:
thinkboxsoftware.com/deadlin … l_or_Group

After that, any job submitted to that Group will only get picked up by that node, and the node won’t pick up any other jobs.

It`s not exactly that.

I have one host, splitted in 4.

I have a group, wich use one instance of the 4.

When that group is used, i dont want the 3 other instance to be use. I want my job to have full power. Then when the job is over, i want other job to be able to take that node back

THks

Hi Fred,

Thanks for clarifying. Currently, something like this isn’t possible. The slaves work independently of each other, so one slave can’t tell others to stop while it’s rendering.
