LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

LSF_ELIM_BLOCKTIME

Syntax

LSF_ELIM_BLOCKTIME=seconds

Description

UNIX only; used when the external load indices feature is enabled.

Maximum amount of time the master external load information manager (MELIM) waits for

a complete load update string from an elim executable. After the time period specified by

LSF_ELIM_BLOCKTIME, the MELIM writes the last string sent by an elim in the LIM log

file (lim.log.host_name) and restarts the elim.

Defining LSF_ELIM_BLOCKTIME also triggers the MELIM to restart elim executables if the

elim does not write a complete load update string within the time specified for

LSF_ELIM_BLOCKTIME.

Valid Values

Non-negative integers. For example, if your elim writes name-value pairs with 1 second

intervals between them, and your elim reports 12 load indices, allow at least 12 seconds for

the elim to finish writing the entire load update string. In this case, define

LSF_ELIM_BLOCKTIME as 15 seconds or more.

A value of 0 indicates that the MELIM expects to receive the entire load string all at once.

If you comment out or delete LSF_ELIM_BLOCKTIME, the MELIM waits 2 seconds for a

complete load update string.

Default

4 seconds
