LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

LSB_NTRIES

Syntax

LSB_NTRIES=integer

Description

The number of times that LSF libraries attempt to contact mbatchd or perform a concurrent

jobs query.

For example, if this parameter is not defined, when you type bjobs, LSF keeps displaying

"batch system not responding" if mbatchd cannot be contacted or if the number of pending

jobs exceeds MAX_PEND_JOBS specified in lsb.params or lsb.users.

If this parameter is set to a value, LSF only attempts to contact mbatchd the defined number

of times and then quits. LSF will wait for a period of time equal to SUB_TRY_INTERVAL

specified in lsb.params before attempting to contact mbatchd again.

Valid values

Any positive integer

Default

INFINIT_INT (The default is to continue the attempts to contact mbatchd)

LSB_OLD_JOBID

Syntax

LSB_OLD_JOBID=job_ID

Description

The job ID of a job at the time it was checkpointed.

When a job is restarted, it is assigned a new job ID and LSB_JOBID is replaced with the new

job ID. LSB_OLD_JOBID identifies the original ID of a job before it is restarted.

Valid values

Any positive integer

Where defined

Set by sbatchd, defined by mbatchd
