Automatic Time-based Configuration
Variable configuration is used to automatically change LSF configuration based on time
windows. You define automatic configuration changes in
lsb.queues by using if-else
constructs and time expressions. After you change the files, reconfigure the cluster with
the
badmin reconfig command.
The expressions are evaluated by LSF every 10 minutes based on
mbatchd start time.
When an expression evaluates true, LSF dynamically changes the configuration based on
the associated configuration statements. Reconfiguration is done in real time without
restarting
mbatchd, providing continuous system availability.
Example Begin Queue
...
#if time(8:30-18:30)
INTERACTIVE = ONLY # interactive only during day shift
#endif
...
End Queue
