IMPORTANT
If you are using local duplicate event logging, you must run badmin
mbdrestart after changing MAX_INFO_DIRS for the changes to take effect.
Valid values
1-1024
Default
Not defined (no subdirectories under the info directory; mbatchd writes all jobfiles
to the
info directory)
Example
MAX_INFO_DIRS=10
mbatchd creates ten subdirectories from
LSB_SHAREDIR/cluster_name/logdir/info/0 to
LSB_SHAREDIR/cluster_name/logdir/info/9.
MAX_JOB_ARRAY_SIZE
Syntax
MAX_JOB_ARRAY_SIZE=
integer
Description Specifies the maximum number of jobs in a job array that can be created by a user for a
single job submission. The maximum number of jobs in a job array cannot exceed this
value.
A large job array allows a user to submit a large number of jobs to the system with a
single job submission.
Valid values
Specify a positive integer between 1 and 2147483646
Default 1000
MAX_JOB_ATTA_SIZE
Syntax
MAX_JOB_ATTA_SIZE=
integer | 0
Specify any number less than 20000.
Description
Maximum attached data size, in KB, that can be transferred to a job.
Maximum size for data attached to a job with the
bpost(1) command. Useful if you use
bpost(1) and bread(1) to transfer large data files between jobs and you want to limit
the usage in the current working directory.
0 indicates that jobs cannot accept attached data files.
Default
Undefined. LSF does not set a maximum size of job attachments.
MAX_JOBID
Syntax
MAX_JOBID=
integer
Description
The job ID limit. The job ID limit is the highest job ID that LSF will ever assign, and
also the maximum number of jobs in the system.
By default, LSF assigns job IDs up to 6 digits. This means that no more than 999999
jobs can be in the system at once.
Specify any integer from 999999 to 9999999 (for practical purposes, any seven-digit
integer).
You cannot lower the job ID limit, but you can raise it to seven digits. This means you
can have more jobs in the system, and the job ID numbers will roll over less often.
