If you are running the Backfill scheduler with job_type=parallel, you should use the 2.1.0 network job command file keyword to request adapters. However, if you use the 1.3.0 Adapter requirement in a job command file, the requirement is converted to the 2.1.0 network statement. Only those requirement statements with one Adapter keyword and that use the "==" operator are converted; all other Adapter requirements are not allowed.
Table 2 shows how the network type value in an Adapter
requirement statement is converted. The left column represents the
network types you can request using the Adapter requirement.
The right hand column represents the resulting network statement
generated by LoadLeveler 2.1.0.
Table 2. How the Backfill Scheduler Handles the Adapter Requirement
| Network Type Adapter Requirement | Resulting network Statement |
|---|---|
| hps_ip | css0,shared,IP |
| hps_user | css0,shared,US |
| ethernet | en0,shared,IP |
| fddi | fi0,shared,IP |
| tokenring | tr0,shared,IP |
| fcs | fcs0,shared,IP |
Note that any adapter name in a resulting network statement must be specified in the administration file.
