Both the original and the new hosts must:
•
Be binary compatible
•

Configuration to enable job migration
The job migration feature requires that a job be made checkpointable at the job, application,
or queue level, or rerunnable at the job or queue level. An LSF user can make a job
•
Checkpointable, using bsub -k and specifying a checkpoint directory and checkpoint
period, and an optional initial checkpoint period
•
Rerunnable, using bsub -r
