Setting Up and Managing Cluster Queues
7.9 Setting Up Execution Batch Queues
7.9.1 Before You Begin
Before you establish batch queues, you should decide which type of queue
configuration best suits your cluster. As system manager, you are responsible for
setting up batch queues to maintain efficient batch job processing on the cluster.
For example, you should do the following:
• Determine what type of processing will be performed on each computer.
• Set up local batch queues that conform to these processing needs.
• Decide whether to set up any clusterwide generic queues that will distribute
batch job processing across the cluster.
• Decide whether to use autostart queues for startup simplicity.
Once you determine the strategy that best suits your needs, you can create a
command procedure to set up your queues. Figure 7–4 shows a batch queue
configuration for a cluster consisting of computers JUPITR, SATURN, and
URANUS.
