LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

Use the not operator (~) to exclude users or user groups from the list of users who can create
reservations.
Caution:
The not operator does not exclude LSF administrators from the
policy.
Example
USERS=user1 user2
Default
all (all users in the cluster can create reservations)
ReservationUsage section
To enable greater flexibility for reserving numeric resources are reserved by jobs, configure
the ReservationUsage section in lsb.resources to reserve resources like license tokens per
resource as PER_JOB, PER_SLOT, or PER_HOST. For example:
Example ReservationUsage section
Begin ReservationUsage
RESOURCE METHOD
licenseX PER_JOB
licenseY PER_HOST
licenseZ PER_SLOT
End ReservationUsage
Parameters
•
RESOURCE
•
METHOD
RESOURCE
The name of the resource to be reserved. Only user-defined numeric resources can be reserved.
Builtin resources like mem, cpu, swp, etc. cannot be configured in the ReservationUsage
section.
METHOD
The resource reservation method. One of:
•
PER_JOB
•
PER_HOST
•
PER_SLOT
The cluster-wide RESOURCE_RESERVE_PER_SLOT parameter in lsb.params is obsolete.
Configuration in lsb.resources overrides RESOURCE_RESERVE_PER_SLOT if it also
exists for the same resource.
RESOURCE_RESERVE_PER_SLOT parameter still controls resources not configured in
lsb.resources. Resources not reserved in lsb.resources are reserved per job.
PER_HOST reservation means that for the parallel job, LSF reserves one instance of a for each
host. For example, some application licenses are charged only once no matter how many
lsb.resources
