Using Advance Reservation
Advance reservation commands
Use the following commands to work with advance reservations:
brsvadd Add a reservation
brsvdel Delete a reservation
brsvmod Modify a reservation
brsvs View reservations
Add reservations
NOTE: By default, only LSF administrators or root can add or delete advance reservations.
1 Run brsvadd to create new advance reservations.
You must specify the following for the reservation:
◆ Number of job slots to reserve—This number should less than or equal to
the actual number of slots for the hosts defined in the reservation.
◆ Hosts for the reservation
◆ Owners of the reservation
◆ Time period for the reservation: Either:
❖ Begin time and end time for a one-time reservation, OR
❖ Time window for a recurring reservation
The
brsvadd command returns a reservation ID that you use when you submit
a job that uses the reserved hosts. Any single user or user group can have a
maximum of 100 reservation IDs.
Specify hosts for the reservation
1 Use one or both of the following brsvadd options to specify hosts for which job
slots are reserved:
❖ The -m option lists the hosts needed for the reservation. The hosts listed by
the
-m option can be local to the cluster or hosts leased from remote
clusters. At job submission, LSF considers the hosts in the specified order.
If you also specify a resource requirement string with the
-R option, -m is
optional.
