Queue States
Queue states, displayed by bqueues, describe the ability of a queue to accept and start
batch jobs using a combination of the following states:
◆ Open queues accept new jobs
◆ Closed queues do not accept new jobs
◆ Active queues start jobs on available hosts
◆ Inactive queues hold all jobs
Queue state can be changed by an LSF administrator or
root.
Queues can also be activated and inactivated by run and dispatch windows (configured
in
lsb.queues, displayed by bqueues -l).
bqueues -l displays Inact_Adm when explicitly inactivated by an Administrator
(
badmin qinact), and Inact_Win when inactivated by a run or dispatch window.
