6 hostgroup - host group entry file format
7
9 A host group entry is used to merge host names to groups. Each host
10 group entry file defines one group. Inside a group definition file
11 you can also reference to groups. These groups are called subgroups. A
12 subgroup is referenced by the sign "@" as first character of the name.
13
14 A list of currently configured host group entries can be displayed via
15 the qconf(1) -shgrpl option. The contents of each listed host group
16 entry can be shown via the -shgrp switch. The output follows the host‐
17 group format description. New host group entries can be created and
18 existing can be modified via the -ahgrp, -mhgrp, -dhgrp and -?attr
19 options to qconf(1).
20
21 Note: Grid Engine allows backslashes (\) be used to escape newline
22 (\newline) characters. The backslash and the newline are replaced with
23 a space (" ") character before any interpretation.
24
26 A host group entry contains following parameters:
27
28 group_name
29 The group_name defines the host group name. Host group names have to
30 begin with an '@' character as explained for hostgroup_name in
31 sge_types(5).
32
33 hostlist
34 The name of all hosts and host groups (see host_identifier in
35 sge_types(1)) which are member of the group. As list separators white-
36 spaces are supported only. Default value for this parameter is NONE.
37
38 Note: if the first character of the host_identifier is an "@" sign the
39 name is used to reference a hostgroup(5) which is taken as sub group of
40 this group.

44 This is a typical host group entry:
45
46
47 group_name @bigMachines
48
49 hostlist @solaris64 @solaris32 fangorn balrog
50
51 The entry will define a new host group called @bigMachines. In this
52 host group are the host fangorn, balrog and all members of the host
53 groups @solaris64 and @solaris32.
