If the local and remote hosts have different file name spaces, you must always specify
relative path names. If the local and remote hosts do not share the same file system, you
must make sure that the directory containing the remote file exists. It is recommended
that only the file name be given for the remote file when running in heterogeneous file
systems. This places the file in the job’s current working directory. If the file is shared
between the submission and execution hosts, then no file copy is performed.
LSF uses
lsrcp to transfer files (see lsrcp(1) command). lsrcp contacts RES on the
remote host to perform the file transfer. If RES is not available,
rcp is used (see rcp(1)).
The user must make sure that the
rcp binary is in the user’s $PATH on the execution
host.
Jobs that are submitted from LSF client hosts should specify the
-f option only if rcp
is allowed. Similarly,
rcp must be allowed if account mapping is used.
-F file_limit
Sets a per-process (soft) file size limit for each of the processes that belong to the batch
job (see
getrlimit(2)). The file size limit is specified in KB. If a job process attempts
to write to a file that exceeds the file size limit, then that process is sent a SIGXFSZ
signal. The SIGXFSZ signal normally terminates the process.
-g job_group_name
Submits jobs in the job group specified by job_group_name The job group does not have
to exist before submitting the job. For example:
% bsub -g /risk_group/portfolio1/current myjob
Job <105> is submitted to default queue.
Submits myjob to the job group /risk_group/portfolio1/current.
If group
/risk_group/portfolio1/current exists, job 105 is attached to the job
group.
If group
/risk_group/portfolio1/current does not exist, LSF checks its
parent recursively, and if no groups in the hierarchy exist, all three job groups are created
with the specified hierarchy and the job is attached to group.
You cannot use
-g with -sla. A job can either be attached to a job group or a service
class, but not both.
Job group names can be up to 512 characters long.
-G user_group
Only useful with fairshare scheduling.
Associates the job with the specified group. Specify any group that you belong to that
does not contain any subgroups. You must be a direct member of the specified user
group.
-i input_file | -is input_file
Gets the standard input for the job from specified file. Specify an absolute or relative
path. The input file can be any type of file, though it is typically a shell script text file.
If the file exists on the execution host, LSF uses it. Otherwise, LSF attempts to copy the
file from the submission host to the execution host. For the file copy to be successful,
you must allow remote copy (
rcp) access, or you must submit the job from a server host
where RES is running. The file is copied from the submission host to a temporary file
