Hi,

I just tried something here, that is apparently not possible, so I was 
wondering if anyone had any alternate suggestions for how to do it...

For a piece of software, I've got 12 type A licenses and another 12 type B 
licenses. I can do the same thing with either, but I need to change a flag on 
the command line to get it to pick up one or the other.


I tried creating two consumables:

licenses : 24
licenses_b : 12

And then making jobs have a hard request for 'licenses' and a soft request for 
'licenses_b' (I would then check whether a job has been granted 'licenses_b', 
and add a flag appropriately.

However, qsub told me that I can't soft request consumable resources.

Any suggestions as to how I might be able to do this?


Thanks
