Hi everyone, I am trying to configure a new server having different types of nodes. For the discussion, let’s say that we have nodesA and nodesB. I would like to create various queues with respect of job types. Let’s say queue1 and queue2. I would like to set node’s priorities at the level of those queues: - I would like that queue1 would preferably uses nodesA but it could use nodesB if nodesA are overloaded; - and opposite situation for queue2 which would preferably use nodesB before considering using nodesA. In the documentation, I found a way to get queue1 uses only nodesA, but I didn’t find a way to get kind of ranking between nodes at a queue level. Is there a way to do that? Thank you very much in advance. ---

There is no configuration to do that, the node\_sort\_key would help but it applies for all the nodes and not to the specific queues. > [@NomisTuo](#): > > queue1 would preferably uses nodesA If **preferably** is not mandatory or a must, then node\_sort\_key would do the trick
