LSF Version 7.3 - Release Notes for Platform LSF

number of minutes or longer should not be preempted, where minutes is wall-clock time,
not normalized time. Percentage must be greater than 0 or less than 100% (between 1%
and 99%).
lsb.queues
•
CHKPNT=chkpnt_dir [chkpnt_period]—If checkpoint-related configuration is specified in
both the queue and an application profile, the application profile setting overrides queue
level configuration. If checkpoint-related configuration is specified in the queue,
application profile, and at job level:
•
Application-level and job-level parameters are merged. If the same parameter is defined
at both job-level and in the application profile, the job-level value overrides the
application profile value.
•
The merged result of job-level and application profile settings override queue-level
configuration.
To enable checkpointing of MultiCluster jobs, define a checkpoint directory in both the
send-jobs and receive-jobs queues (CHKPNT in lsb.queues), or in an application profile
(CHKPNT_DIR, CHKPNT_PERIOD, CHKPNT_INITPERIOD, CHKPNT_METHOD
in lsb.applications) of both submission cluster and execution cluster. LSF uses the
directory specified in the execution cluster.
•
MAX_JOB_PREEMPT=integer—The maximum number of times a job can be preempted.
Applies to queue-level jobs only.
•
MAX_JOB_REQUEUE=integer
The maximum number of times to requeue a job automatically.
•
MIG=minutes—Job-level command line migration threshold overrides threshold
configuration in application profile and queue. Application profile configuration overrides
queue level configuration. When a host migration threshold is specified, and is lower than
the value for the job, the queue, or the application, the host value is used..
•
REQUEUE_EXIT_VALUES=[exit_code ...] [EXCLUDE(exit_code ...)]—Enables automatic
job requeue and sets the LSB_EXIT_REQUEUE environment variable. Use spaces to
separate multiple exit codes. Application-level exit values override queue-level values. Job-
level exit values (bsub -Q) override application-level and queue-level values. exit_code
has the following form:
"[all] [~number ...] | [number ...]"
The reserved keyword all specifies all exit codes. Exit codes are typically between 0 and
255. Use a tilde (~) to exclude specified exit codes from the list.
•
When LSF_STRICT_RESREQ=Y in lsf.conf, LSF rejects resource requirement strings
where an rusage section contains a non-consumable resource
lsf.cluster
•
RESOURCES in Host section lists all static Boolean resources and static or dynamic
numeric and string resources available on this host.
•
ELIMARGS=cmd_line_args in Parameters section specifies command-line arguments
required by an elim executable on startup. Used only when the external load indices
feature is enabled.
•
ELIM_POLL_INTERVAL=seconds—in Parameters section specifies a time interval, in
seconds, that the LIM samples external load index information. If your elim executable
