title: how does Autosys virtual machine work
body: <p>I first heard the notion of autosys virtual machines, which seems capable of  offloading a heavy loaded autosys job.</p>
  
  <p>From some jil file examples I was able to make some oberversations:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>in the jil file for a job, if there is a type attribute, does a
  "type: v" mean virtual machine? But I also noticed in some other VM
  jil example there is no "type" attribute, and the machine name is
  like an alias with a "_V" suffix.</p></li>
  <li><p>Do we need to specify two physical servers in the jil with one of them serving a primary<br>
  and the  other backup (virtual) one?</p></li>
  <li><p>what do attributes factor and max_load mean, and how are they properly setup?</p></li>
  <li><p>How can we verify that both servers are hit if the jil file were configured as such? I supposed they are in log files.</p></li>
  </ul>
