LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

This is the hard system-wide pending job threshold. No user or user group can exceed this
limit unless the job is forwarded from a remote cluster.
If the user or user group submitting the job has reached the pending job threshold as specified
by MAX_PEND_JOBS, LSF will reject any further job submission requests sent by that user
or user group. The system will continue to send the job submission requests with the interval
specified by SUB_TRY_INTERVAL in lsb.params until it has made a number of attempts
equal to the LSB_NTRIES environment variable. If LSB_NTRIES is not defined and LSF rejects
the job submission request, the system will continue to send the job submission requests
indefinitely as the default behavior.

MAX_PREEXEC_RETRY
Syntax
MAX_PREEXEC_RETRY=integer
Description
The maximum number of times to attempt the pre-execution command of a job.
Valid values
0 < MAX_PREEXEC_RETRY < INFINIT_INT
INFINIT_INT is defined in lsf.h.
Default
5
MAX_SBD_CONNS
Syntax
MAX_SBD_CONNS=integer
Description
The maximum number of file descriptors mbatchd can have open and connected concurrently
to sbatchd
Controls the maximum number of connections that LSF can maintain to sbatchds in the
system. Many sites require more than 32 connections.
Do not exceed the file descriptor limit of the root process (the usual limit is 1024). Setting it
equal or larger than this limit can cause mbatchd to constantly die because mbatchd allocates
