Once you have exported a host, you can export memory and swap space in addition to job slots.
By default, the consumer cluster borrows a job slot but is not guaranteed that there will be free memory or swap space, because all jobs on the host compete for the host’s resources. If these resources are exported, each consumer cluster schedules work as if only the exported amount is available (the exported amount acts a limit for the consumer cluster), and the provider cluster can no longer use the amount that has been exported.
The distribution policies that apply to job slots also apply to other resources.
If the provider cluster doesn't have the amount that is specified in the export policy, it will export as much as it has.
Tip: To export hosts of HostExport Type==DLINUX, exporting swap space is mandatory. If you do not specify swap space, the hosts of this host type are filtered because the resource is seen as unavailable
Export memory
To export memory, set MEM in lsb.resources host export policy, and specify the number of MB per host:
Export swap space
To export swap space, set SWP in lsb.resources host export policy, and specify the number of MB per host:
