Hello,
I would like to know, if possible, how to address for a job
submission
an executable which is placed directly on the execute node
disk.

Put this in your submit file:

transfer_executable = false

Thank you Jaime, does this work also for virtual machine disk
images ?
That is for the VM Universe ?

In the VM universe, no files are transferred to the execute node by
default. You must specify all disk image files you want transferred
in transfer_input_files.

I have already the VM disk image on the execute node, what do I need to
invoke it in a submit file?

In this case, you give the full path to the disk image file on the execute node in the vm_disk command.

It would look something like this:

  vm_disk = /home/me/vm.img:sda2:w:raw

If you were transferring the disk image from the submit machine, you would use this instead:

  vm_disk = vm.img:sda2:w:raw

  transfer_input_files = /home/me/vm.img
