LSF Version 7.3 - Release Notes for Platform LSF

•
-N reservation_name specifies a user-defined advance reservation name unique in an LSF
cluster. The name is a string of letters, numeric characters, underscores, and dashes
beginning with a letter. The maximum length of the name is 39 characters.
brsvs
-z all | "host_name" shows a planner with only the weekly items that have reservation
configurations displayed. Empty lines are omitted.
bsub
-R res_req displays hosts with the specified resource requirements. When
LSF_STRICT_RESREQ=Y in lsf.conf, LSF rejects resource requirement strings where an
rusage section contains a non-consumable resource.
bsub adds the following new options:
-k "checkpoint_dir [init=initial_checkpoint_period] [checkpoint_period]
[method=method_name]"
-k init optionally, specifies an initial checkpoint period in minutes. Specify a positive
integer. The first checkpoint does not happen until the initial period has elapsed. After
the first checkpoint, the job checkpoint frequency is controlled by the normal job
checkpoint interval.
-mig migration_threshold
Specifies the migration threshold for checkpointable or rerunnable jobs in minutes.
Enables automatic job migration and specifies the migration threshold, in minutes. A
value of 0 (zero) specifies that a suspended job should be migrated immediately.
Command-level job migration threshold overrides application profile and queue-level
settings.
Where a host migration threshold is also specified, and is lower than the job value, the
host value is used.
-Q "[exit_code …] [EXCLUDE(exit_code …)]"
Specify automatic job requeue exit values. Use spaces to separate multiple exit codes.
The reserved keyword all specifies all exit codes. Exit codes are typically between 0 and
255. Use a tilde (~) to exclude specified number or numbers from the list.
exit_code has the following form:
"[all] [~number ...] | [number ...]"
Job level exit values override application-level and queue-level values.
Jobs running with the specified exit code share the same application and queue with
other jobs.
Define an exit code as EXCLUDE(exit_code) to enable exclusive job requeue. Exclusive
job requeue does not work for parallel jobs.
If mbatchd is restarted, it does not remember the previous hosts from which the job
exited with an exclusive requeue exit code. In this situation, it is possible for a job to
