No. Reservations are made by node type not by individual node.
For example, you can request one "d430" node but you could not
specifically request "pc701".

The reservation system will allow you to schedule up to
three years in the future, In practice however, you should not
reserve nodes out past a year or so, since CloudLab cluster
resources may come and go.

What if I don't use all the nodes during my reservation?

</h4>
</div>
<div id="faq6" class="panel-collapse collapse">
<div class="panel-body faq-answer">
A reservation only ensures that at least the specified number of
nodes of the indicated type are available for use at the given time.
You must explicitly instantiate a profile to use the nodes. If you
do not, or if your instantiation uses fewer than the reserved number
of nodes, the remaining nodes are unavailable to anyone else outside
of your project. Moral: choose your reservation size carefully!

You can edit your reservation as needed before the start
time has been reached (see the <em>List Reservations</em> option
in the experimentation menu). Be aware that if your
reservation has been already been approved, changing it might
move it back into the pending state.

Can I extend my reservation after it has began?

</h4>
</div>
<div id="faq7b" class="panel-collapse collapse">
<div class="panel-body faq-answer">
No. You will have to create a new reservation that abuts your
current reservation. You may however be able to extend experiments
started in your reservation window to run past the end of your
reservation, if no other reservation is scheduled immediately after
yours. The experiment extension page will allow you to extend an
experiment up until the point it conflicts with a future reservation
for the same node type(s).

<div id="faq8" class="panel-collapse collapse">

Will my experiment be automatically terminated at the end

</a>
</h4>
</div>
<div id="faq9" class="panel-collapse collapse">
<div class="panel-body faq-answer">
No. Your experiment will only be forcibly terminated when the
experiment duration time is reached. However, it is quite possible
that you will not be able to extend an experiment past the reservation
end time. It depends on whether there is another reservation for
the node resources immediately following yours. The experiment
extension page will allow you to extend an experiment up until the
point it conflicts with a future reservation for the same node type.

Can I allocate nodes without creating a reservation first?
</a>
</h4>
</div>
<div id="faq10" class="panel-collapse collapse">
<div class="panel-body faq-answer">
Yes. You do not need to create an explicit reservation in order
to use node resources. Instantiating an experiment creates an
implicit reservation starting at the current time and extending
through the default duration of the experiment. If that time frame
conflicts with an existing reservation, the instantiation will
fail.

My N-node reservation time has arrived but I cannot

</a>
</h4>
</div>
<div id="faq11" class="panel-collapse collapse">
<div class="panel-body faq-answer">
There are a couple of possible reasons. The most common reason is
that one or more of the desired node type has suffered hardware
failure or was otherwise taken out of service unexpectedly after
you made your reservation. It is also possible that the network
topology you specify in an experiment cannot be instantiated on
the set of nodes that are available when the reservation starts.
