Elastic High Performance Computing:Manage queues

Last Updated:Jun 20, 2026

E-HPC lets you categorize compute nodes for different jobs or tasks into queues, which simplifies node filtering. This topic explains how to create, delete, and move nodes between queues.

Background

When you create a cluster, E-HPC automatically creates a default queue and adds all compute nodes to it.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the Nodes and Queues page.

    1. Log in to the E-HPC console.

    2. In the upper-left corner of the top navigation bar, select a region.

    3. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Resource Management > Nodes and Queues.

  2. From the Cluster list, select the target cluster.

  3. From the Node Type list, select compute node.

  4. Perform the desired operation.

    Create a new queue

    From the Queue drop-down list, click New Queue. In the dialog box, configure the queue settings and click OK.

    Move nodes between queues

    In the node list, select the compute nodes that you want to move. Click Move To. In the dialog box, select the target queue and click OK.

    Delete a queue

    Important

    If a queue contains nodes, you must first move them to another queue before you can delete it. You cannot delete the default queue.

    From the Queue drop-down list, select the queue that you want to delete. Then, click Delete Queue in the upper-right corner of the page and confirm the prompt.
