Setting Custom Attributes

Sun HPC Cluster Tools does not limit you to the attributes listed. You can define new attributes as desired.

For example, if a node has a special resource that will not be flagged by an existing attribute, you may want to set an attribute that identifies that special characteristic. In the following example, node node3 has a frame buffer attached. This feature is captured by setting the custom attribute has_frame_buffer for that node.

[node0]
N(node3):: set has_frame_buffer[node0] N(node3):: 

Users can then use the attribute has_frame_buffer to request a node that has a frame buffer when they execute programs.

See "Naming Partitions and Custom Attributes" for restrictions on attribute names.
