External load indices commands
Commands to submit workload
Command Description
bsub -R "res_req" [-R
"res_req"] …
•
Runs the job on a host that meets the specified resource requirements.
•
If you specify a value for a dynamic external resource in the resource
requirements string, LSF uses the most recent values provided by your
elim executables for host selection.
•
For example:
•
Define a dynamic external resource called "usr_tmp" that represents the
space available in the /usr/tmp directory.
•
Write an elim executable to report the value of usr_tmp to LSF.
•
To run the job on hosts that have more than 15 MB available in the /
usr/tmp directory, run the command bsub -R "usr_tmp > 15" myjob
•
LSF uses the external load index value for usr_tmp to locate a host with
more than 15 MB available in the /usr/tmp directory.
