batch jobs. Interactive jobs scheduled by LIM are controlled by another set of
dispatch windows (see
lshosts(1)). Similar dispatch windows may be
configured for individual hosts (see
bhosts(1)).
A window is displayed in the format begin_time–end_time. Time is specified in
the format [day:]hour[:minute], where all fields are numbers in their respective
legal ranges: 0(Sunday)-6 for day, 0-23 for hour, and 0-59 for minute. The default
value for minute is 0 (on the hour). The default value for day is every day of the
week. The begin_time and end_time of a window are separated by ‘–’, with no
blank characters (SPACE and TAB) in between. Both begin_time and end_time
must be present for a window. Windows are separated by blank characters.
USERS
A list of users allowed to submit jobs to this queue. LSF administrators can
submit jobs to the queue even if they are not listed here.
User group names have a slash (/) added at the end of the group name. See
bugroup(1).
If the fairshare scheduling policy is enabled, users cannot submit jobs to the
queue unless they also have a share assignment. This also applies to LSF
administrators.
HOSTS
A list of hosts where jobs in the queue can be dispatched.
Host group names have a slash (/) added at the end of the group name. See
bmgroup(1).
NQS DESTINATION QUEUES
A list of NQS destination queues to which this queue can dispatch jobs.
When you submit a job using
bsub -q queue_name, and the specified queue is
configured to forward jobs to the NQS system, LSF routes your job to one of
the NQS destination queues. The job runs on an NQS batch server host, which
is not a member of the LSF cluster. Although running on an NQS system
outside the LSF cluster, the job is still managed by LSF in almost the same way
as jobs running inside the LSF cluster. Thus, you may have your batch jobs
transparently sent to an NQS system to run and then get the results of your jobs
back. You may use any supported user interface, including LSF commands and
NQS commands (see
lsnqs(1)) to submit, monitor, signal and delete your
batch jobs that are running in an NQS system. See
lsb.queues(5) and
bsub(1) for more information.
ADMINISTRATORS
A list of queue administrators. The users whose names are specified here are
allowed to operate on the jobs in the queue and on the queue itself. See
lsb.queues(5) for more information.
PRE_EXEC
The queue’s pre-execution command. The pre-execution command is executed
before each job in the queue is run on the execution host (or on the first host
selected for a parallel batch job). See
lsb.queues(5) for more information.
