LSF Version 7.3 - Administering Platform LSF

Administering Platform LSF 461
Job Priorities
The system APS value set by bmod -aps is preserved after mbatchd reconfiguration
or
mbatchd restart.
Use the ADMIN
factor to adjust the
APS value
Administrators can use bmod -aps "admin=value" to change the calculated APS
value for a pending job. The ADMIN factor is added to the calculated APS value to
change the factor value. The absolute priority of the job is recalculated. The value
cannot be zero (0).
A
bmod -aps command always overrides the last bmod -aps commands
The ADMIN APS value set by
bmod -aps is preserved after mbatchd
reconfiguration or
mbatchd restart.
Example bmod
output
The following commands change the APS values for jobs 313 and 314:
bmod -aps "system=10" 313
Parameters of job <313> are being changed
bmod -aps "admin=10.00" 314
Parameters of job <314> are being changed
View modified APS
values
Use bjobs -aps to see the effect of the changes:
bjobs -aps
JOBID USER STAT QUEUE FROM_HOST EXEC_HOST JOB_NAME SUBMIT_TIME APS

321 user1 PEND owners hostA myjob Feb 12 01:09 -
314 user1 PEND normal hostA myjob Feb 12 01:08 109.00
312 user1 PEND normal hostA myjob Feb 12 01:08 99.00
315 user1 PEND normal hostA myjob Feb 12 01:08 99.00
316 user1 PEND normal hostA myjob Feb 12 01:08 99.00
Use bjobs -l to show APS values modified by the administrator:
bjobs -l
Job <313>, User <user1>, Project <default>, Service Class
<SLASamples>, Status <RUN>, Queue <normal>, Command <myjob>, System
Absolute Priority <10>
Job <314>, User <user1>, Project <default>, Status <PEND>, Queue
<normal>, Command <myjob>, Admin factor value <10>
Use bhist -l to see historical information about administrator changes to APS
values. For example, after running these commands:
1
bmod -aps "system=10" 108
2 bmod -aps "admin=20" 108
3 bmod -apsn 108
bhist -l
shows the sequence changes to job 108:
bhist -l
Job <108>, User <user1>, Project <default>, Command <sleep 10000>
