Platform LSF Reference Version 6.2

Parameters Section
Platform LSF Reference
388
Description
The maximum number of retries for reaching a non-responding slave batch daemon,
sbatchd.
The interval between retries is defined by MBD_SLEEP_TIME. If
mbatchd fails to
reach a host and has retried MAX_SBD_FAIL times, the host is considered unreachable.
When a host becomes unreachable,
mbatchd assumes that all jobs running on that host
have exited and that all rerunnable jobs (jobs submitted with the
bsub -r option) are
scheduled to be rerun on another host.
Default
3
MAX_SCHED_STAY (OBSOLETE)
Syntax
MAX_SCHED_STAY=
integer
Description
This parameter is obsolete.
Default
3
MAX_USER_PRIORITY
Syntax
MAX_USER_PRIORITY=
integer
Description
Enables user-assigned job priority and specifies the maximum job priority a user can
assign to a job.
LSF administrators can assign a job priority higher than the specified value.
Compatibility
User-assigned job priority changes the behavior of btop and bbot.
Example MAX_USER_PRIORITY=100
Specifies that 100 is the maximum job priority that can be specified by a user.
Default
Undefined

MBD_REFRESH_TIME
Syntax
MBD_REFRESH_TIME=
seconds [min_refresh_time]
where
◆ min_refresh_time defines the minimum time (in seconds) that the child mbatchd will
stay to handle queries. The valid range is 0 - 300 (MAX_MBD_REFRESH_TIME)
with 10 as default.
Description
Time interval, in seconds, at which mbatchd will fork a new child mbatchd to service
query requests to keep information sent back to clients updated. A child
mbatchd
processes query requests creating threads.
MBD_REFRESH_TIME applies only to UNIX platforms that support thread
programming.
To enable MBD_REFRESH_TIME you must specify LSB_QUERY_PORT in
lsf.conf. The child mbatchd listens to the port number specified by
LSB_QUERY_PORT and creates threads to service requests until the job changes
status, a new job is submitted, or MBD_REFRESH_TIME has expired.
