Pool setup by percentage?

Maybe this isn’t possible right now but something that can be added in a later release. But rather than having to manually sort all of the pools to get a certain distribution of priority, is there a way that I could have 5 pools and assign then to a group of machines, then say p1 gets 50%, p2, gets 25%, p3 gets 10%, p4 gets 10%, and p5 would get 5%. Right now trying to move them around to the right order is making by brain hurt. :slight_smile:

Ideally I would just tweak the percentage of priority on any given day to shift priority between shows.

Thanks,
Andrew

Hey Andrew,

There currently isn’t a UI for this. An automatic balancing system like this could probably work, assuming you have no preference on which machines the pools are assigned to. It would have to be designed to work with pools at different priority levels too.

We’ll add it to the wish list.

It’s not so much about it being dynamic, but rather a way that I could quickly set a certain percentage of the farm to have priority that gracefully cascades downward with secondary priorities without having to manually adjust.

For example:
p1 - p3 with even distribution:

node1: p1 p2 p3
node2: p1 p3 p2
node3: p2 p1 p3
node4: p2 p3 p1
node5: p3 p1 p2
node6: p3 p2 p1

easy example but obviously gets more complex with 120 nodes and 5-6 pools with uneven distribution…
