Job Requeue and Job Rerun
Job-level automatic requeue
Use bsub -Q to submit a job that is automatically requeued if it exits with the
specified exit values. Use spaces to separate multiple exit codes. The reserved
keyword
all specifies all exit codes. Exit codes are typically between 0 and 255. Use
a tilde (
~) to exclude specified exit codes from the list.
Job-level requeue exit values override application-level and queue-level
configuration of the parameter REQUEUE_EXIT_VALUES, if defined.
Jobs running with the specified exit code share the same application and queue with
other jobs.
For example:
bsub -Q "all ~1 ~2 EXCLUDE(9)" myjob
Jobs exited with all exit codes except 1 and 2 are requeued. Jobs with exit code 9 are
requeued as exclusive jobs.
Define an exit code as EXCLUDE(exit_code) to enable exclusive job requeue.
Exclusive job requeue does not work for parallel jobs.
If
mbatchd is restarted, it does not remember the previous hosts from which the job
exited with an exclusive requeue exit code. In this situation, it is possible for a job
to be dispatched to hosts on which the job has previously exited with an exclusive
exit code.
Use
bmod -Q to modify or cancel job-level requeue exit values. bmod -Q does not
affect running jobs. For rerunnable and requeue jobs,
bmod -Q affects the next run.
MultiCluster jobs
Job forwarding model For jobs sent to a remote cluster, arguments of bsub -Q take effect on remote
clusters.
Lease model The arguments of bsub -Q apply to jobs running on remote leased hosts as if they
are running on local hosts.
