Assigning a Particular Node Or Resource Pool to a Stage

Specify node map or node pool or resource pool constraints. The configuration file allows you to set up pools of related nodes or resources. The Advanced tab allows you to limit execution of a stage to a particular node or resource pool. You can also use a map to specify a group of nodes that execution will be limited to just in this stage. Supply details as follows:

Node pool and resource constraints. Specify constraints in the grid. Select Node pool or Resource pool from the Constraint drop-down list. Select a Type for a resource pool and, finally, select the name of the pool you are limiting execution to. You can select multiple node or resource pools. This is only enabled if you have defined multiple pools in the configuration file.
Node map constraints. Select the option box and type in the nodes to which execution will be limited in the text box. You can also browse through the available nodes to add to the text box. Using this feature conceptually sets up an additional node pool which does not appear in the configuration file.

The lists of available nodes, available node pools, and available resource pools are derived from the configuration file.
