Threshold fields
The LIM uses these thresholds in determining whether to place remote jobs on a host.
If one or more LSF load indices exceeds the corresponding threshold (too many users,
not enough swap space, etc.), then the host is regarded as busy, and LIM will not
recommend jobs to that host.
The CPU run queue length threshold values (r15s, r1m, and r15m) are taken as effective
queue lengths as reported by
lsload -E.
All of these fields are optional; you only need to configure thresholds for load indices
that you wish to use for determining whether hosts are busy. Fields that are not
configured are not considered when determining host status. The keywords for the
threshold fields are not case sensitive.
Thresholds can be set for any of the following:
◆ The built-in LSF load indexes (r15s, r1m, r15m, ut, pg, it, io, ls, swp, mem,
tmp)
◆ External load indexes defined in the Resource section of lsf.shared
