The job migration feature enables you to move checkpointable and rerunnable jobs from one host to another. Job migration makes use of job checkpoint and restart so that a migrated checkpointable job restarts on the new host from the point at which the job stopped on the original host.
Job migration refers to the process of moving a checkpointable or rerunnable job from one host to another. This facilitates load balancing by moving jobs from a heavily-loaded host to a lightly-loaded host.
You can initiate job migration on demand (bmig) or automatically. To initiate job migration automatically, you configure a migration threshold at the host or queue level.
Job migration applies to checkpointable or rerunnable jobs submitted with a migration threshold, or that have already started and are either running or suspended.
