LSF Version 7.3 - Release Notes for Platform LSF

The PMC can only run on the following platforms: LINUX86, X86_64, NTX86,
NTX64. If your LSF cluster includes other platforms, the administrator must manually
modify eservice/esc/conf/service/gui_service.xml by changing:
<ego:ResourceRequirement>select(!NTIA64)</ego:ResourceRequirement>
to
<ego:ResourceRequirement>select('LINUX86'||'X86_64'||'NTX86'||'NTX64') </
ego:ResourceRequirement>
You must restart EGO to make the change take effect.
LSB_LOCALDIR for duplicate event logging must exist
If LSB_LOCALDIR in lsf.conf specifies a directory that does not exist, mbatchd dies
after 45 minutes.
Make sure that LSB_LOCALDIR specifies a valid path to a local directory that exists
only on the first LSF master host (the first host configured in
lsf.cluster.cluster_name).
Platform LSF Session Scheduler
Job warning action
When using the bsub -wa option with the Session Scheduler, you should use -
wa 'INT'. Do not use -wa 'KILL'. The 'INT' signal ensures that ssched can properly
terminate all tasks and clean up all temporary files before exiting.
