[Mauiusers] assigning a node to a torque queue

[Gareth.Williams at csiro.au]

Hi Carlos,

Setting up a standing reservation will only prevent 'other' jobs from accessing that resource block.  To 'bind' jobs to the resource, you need separate, additional settings.  Probably the easiest option (there are a number) is to set a default node feature requirement on the queue, ie.
qmgr -c 'set queue test resources_default.neednodes = test'

Of course that requires a queue and property for each binding...  That is probably fine for your current need.
