LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

Hosts that participate in queue-based fairshare cannot be in a host partition.
Compatibility
Host preferences specified by bsub -m override the queue specification.
Example 1
HOSTS=hostA+1 hostB hostC+1 hostD+3
This example defines three levels of preferences: run jobs on hostD as much as possible,
otherwise run on either hostA or hostC if possible, otherwise run on hostB. Jobs should not
run on hostB unless all other hosts are too busy to accept more jobs.
Example 2
HOSTS=hostD+1 others
Run jobs on hostD as much as possible, otherwise run jobs on the least-loaded host available.
With MultiCluster resource leasing model, this queue does not use borrowed hosts.
Example 3
HOSTS=all ~hostA
Run jobs on all hosts in the cluster, except for hostA.
With MultiCluster resource leasing model, this queue does not use borrowed hosts.
Example 4
HOSTS=Group1 ~hostA hostB hostC
Run jobs on hostB, hostC, and all hosts in Group1 except for hostA.
With MultiCluster resource leasing model, this queue uses borrowed hosts if Group1 uses the
keyword allremote.
Example 5
HOSTS=hostA! hostB+ hostC hostgroup1!
Runs parallel jobs using either hostA or a host defined in hostgroup1 as the first execution
host. If the first execution host cannot run the entire job due to resource requirements, runs
the rest of the job on hostB. If hostB is too busy to accept the job, or if hostB does not have
enough resources to run the entire job, runs the rest of the job on hostC.
Default
all (the queue can use all hosts in the cluster, and every host has equal preference)
With MultiCluster resource leasing model, this queue can use all local hosts, but no borrowed
hosts.
