Platform LSF Administration Guide Version 6.2

Welcome
Administering Platform LSF
45
Optional. Defines the priority for each project where “0” is the lowest priority,
and the higher number specifies a higher priority. This column allows the user
to override the default behaviour, which is to look at the cumulative inuse to
determine the preemption order (the project using the most license tokens is
preempted first).

New command options and output
The following command options and output have changed for LSF Version 6.2:
Condensed host
groups
Condensed host groups defined by CONDENSE in the HostGroup section of lsb.hosts
display condensed information for the following commands:
◆ bhosts and bhosts -w
bhosts displays condensed output for condensed host groups. These host groups
are displayed as a single entry with the name as defined by GROUP_NAME in the
HostGroup section of lsb.hosts.
bhosts -l and bhosts -X display uncondensed output.
◆ bjobs and bjobs -w
bjobs
displays condensed output for condensed host groups. These host groups
are displayed as a single entry with the name as defined by GROUP_NAME in the
HostGroup section of lsb.hosts.
If you defined LSB_SHORT_HOSTLIST=1 in
lsf.conf, parallel jobs running in
the same condensed host group are displayed as an abbreviated list.
bjobs -l and bjobs -X display uncondensed output.
bacct
bacct
does not show local pending batch jobs killed using bkill -b. bacct shows
MultiCluster jobs and local running jobs even if they are killed using
bkill -b.
bkill
bkill -b
kills large numbers of jobs as soon as possible. Use bkill -b to kill a large
number of jobs faster than with normal means. Local pending jobs are killed
immediately and cleaned up as soon as possible, ignoring the time interval specified by
CLEAN_PERIOD in lsb.params. Jobs killed in this manner are not logged to
lsb.acct.
Other jobs, such as running jobs, are killed as soon as possible and cleaned up normally.
If the
-b option is used with the 0 subcommand, bkill kills all applicable jobs and
silently skips the jobs that cannot be killed.
The
-b option is ignored if used with the -r or -s options.
blinfo
◆ blinfo -G lists the hierarchical License Scheduler configuration information.
◆ If PRIORITY is defined in the Projects Section of lsf.licensescheduler,
blinfo -Lp also lists the priorities of each project.
bltasks
bltasks -Lp
displays information about tasks associated with the specified License
Scheduler projects.
