+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #221228 +++ Description of problem: Sometimes the reservesys installation EWD-timeouts. I found out it is best to schedule the same installation/reservation multiple times as one of the machines may succeed. If you wait till it Aborts you will get the same incompatible combination scheduled during the retr [...] Bill reported: also, you can randomize your machine choice by changing the following in your xml: <autopick random="true"/> but there is no web UI for this in the reserve_workflow. It'd be nice to get it exposed there too, not just job-cloning.

I do not understand what random="false" can ever be good for.
(In reply to comment #2) Ordinarily Beaker orders candidate systems by some heuristics that are theoretically good for overall scheduling performance -- selecting private systems before ones from the public pool. Setting <autopick random="true" /> defeats that, so it is not enabled by default. The scheduler's behaviour in this regard is slated to be improved as part of the upcoming "groups model" enhancements anyway.
Hello, thank you for opening issue in Beaker project. This issue was marked with component "web ui". As we are not planning to address any further issues in current UI, due to technical stack and not being able to work with Python 3 codebase, I'm closing this issue as WONTFIX. New UI will be reimplemented within new versions of Beaker. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me. Best regards, Martin <martin.styk>
