[Moabusers] mapping node features to a class

[Lloyd Brown]

Hey, all.  In Moab, is there an easy way to map nodes with a specific 
feature (like specified in Torque) into a class?  If, for example, all 
my nodes have either "featureA" or "featureB", but never both, and I 
want all the featureA nodes to be in one class/queue, and all the 
featureB nodes to be in another class/queue, can I do that without using 
the hostlist?  We would have a lot of hosts to put into the hostlist if 
we had to list them all out; pattern matching would even be a lot of 
trouble.

Basically the situation is this:  we have two nodes out of a total of 
600+ that we are using to evaluate new hardware.  We want to allow our 
users to request that a job use these two nodes, but if they don't 
request it, the job shouldn't run on those two nodes, only on the other 
600 or so.

Any suggestions or alternative approaches would be helpful.


Thanks,
Lloyd Brown
