brsvadd -o ◆ -o
Creates an open advance reservation. A job with an open advance reservation will
only have the advance reservation property during the reservation window, after
which the job becomes a normal job, not subject to termination when the
reservation window closes.
You must specify the same information as for normal advance reservations.
This prevents jobs from being killed if the reservation window is too small. Instead,
the job is suspended and normal scheduling policies apply after the reservation
window.
◆ -n
If you also specify the reservation for system use with the -s option, -n is optional.
◆ -s
When specifying a system reservation with -s, you do not need to specify the
number of processors to reserve with the
-n option.
brsvdel
You can delete multiple reservations at a time.
brsvs
◆ -l
Shows each advance reservation in multiline long format. The rows that follow the
reservation information show the type of reservation (open or closed) and the status
of any job associated with the specified reservation (EXIT, PEND, RUN, or SUSP).
◆ -w
Displays reservation information in wide format without truncating fields.
brun
With brun -m "host_name[#num_cpus] ... ", you can optionally specify the number
of CPUs required per host for multihost parallel jobs. num_cpus distributes job slots
according the number of CPUs on the host. If num_cpus is not defined, or if num_cpus
is greater than the number of static CPUs on the host (or the number of free CPUs if
-c is specified), LSF distributes job slots according to the number of static CPUs on the
host, or the number of free CPUs on the host if
-c is specified.
bsub
◆ bsub supports commands to 512 characters long
◆ -J
bsub -J
supports job names up to 512 characters long
◆ -g
bsub -g
supports job group names of up to 512 characters long
lshosts
lshosts -l
displays host information in a long multi-line format. In addition to the
default fields, displays information about the maximum
/tmp space, the number of local
disks, the execution priority for remote jobs, load thresholds, run windows, and the
license classes used or needed.
If LSF_ENABLE_DUALCORE=Y in
lsf.conf for dual-core CPU hosts
◆ lshosts displays the number of cores under the ncpus column instead of physical
CPUs
◆ lshosts -l displays the number of dual-core licenses enabled and needed.
