Ciao, Francesca,

Take a look at section 3.12.8 of the 8.4.6 manual.
In order for a machine
to match a parallel universe job, it must be advertising
the
"DedicatedScheduler" attribute which is
set in the configuration and
pushed to the machine ad using the STARTD_ATTRS config.

Once this is set up correctly, you should be good
to go. The idea here
is that parallel jobs cannot tolerate having any one
of the
parallel processes on any of the machines being terminated
unexpectedly,
so machines set up in this way are presumed to prevent
eviction and
thus be safe for parallel universe submissions.
