There are several way to control which hosts the supervisor will select when deciding where to start job instances on the farm.
Hosts: Send only to an explicit set of workers
Host Groups: Send only to an explicit pre-defined group of workers
Host Order: Select hosts in a certain preferential order

A restriction is really defined as a "filter" for hosts based upon information in the queuing algorithm; the values are one or more cluster names. In the priority/cluster queuing system, one specifies their restrictions by directory structure format:
/[<segment>/][<segment>/][+|*]
- + means all hosts at that level and below in the hierarchy.
- * means only hosts at that level.
The restriction value is actually evaluated as an expression, and is specified in a "this cluster or that cluster or the other cluster" type of string, with the "||" symbol to mean "or"
Example
Allows hosts/jobs in /hello/world, but do not include lower levels:
/hello/world
Allows hosts/jobs in /good/bye and all levels below:
/hello/world/+
Allows only hosts/jobs below /hello/world/… but not including /hello/world:
/hello/world/*
Allows hosts in /hello or /goodbye:
/hello || /goodbye

Qube allows users to specify a list of hosts, for the job to run on. This is a comma-delimited list of hostnames.

The sign in the expression is used to determine if the job would prefer the smallest or the largest value possible. If not specified, sign is equal to .
The possible values for for sign are are "+" or "-". The , and if not specified, sign defaults to "+". The "+" is used to specify using the highest value first, and the "-" is to use the lowest value. These can be combined and will be used in order specified.
