LSF Version 7.3 - Release Notes for Platform LSF

•
Modify the host or hostgroup list (add or remove hosts or hostgroups)
•
Modify the user or user group
•
Add hosts by resource requirement (-R)
•
Modify the reservation type (open or closed)
•
Disable the specified occurrences of a recurring reservation
Use brsvmod to shift, extend or reduce the time window horizontally; grow or shrink the size
vertically.
Specify successful application exit values.
Jobs that exit with one of the exit codes specified by SUCCESS_EXIT_VALUES in an
application profile are marked as DONE. These exit values are not be counted in the
EXIT_RATE calculation.
0 always indicates application success regardless of SUCCESS_EXIT_VALUES.
If both SUCCESS_EXIT_VALUES and REQUEUE_EXIT_VALUES are defined, job will be
set to PEND state and requeued.
SUCCESS_EXIT_VALUES has no effect on pre-exec and post-exec commands. The value is
only used for user jobs.
If the job exit value falls into SUCCESS_EXIT_VALUES, the job will be marked as DONE.
Job dependencies on done jobs behave normally.
For parallel jobs, the exit status refers to the job exit status and not the exit status of individual
tasks.
Exit codes for jobs terminated by LSF are excluded from success exit value even if they are
specified in SUCCESS_EXIT_VALUES.
For example. if SUCCESS_EXIT_VALUES=2 is defined, jobs exiting with 2 are marked as
DONE. However, if LSF cannot find the current working directory, LSF terminates the job
with exit code 2, and the job is marked as EXIT. The appropriate termination reason is
displayed by bacct.
Job-level success exit values specified with the LSB_SUCCESS_EXIT_VALUES environment
variable override application profile level specification of SUCCESS_EXIT_VALUES in
lsb.applications.
Control how many times LSF retries pre-execution commands
By default, if job pre-execution fails, LSF retries the job automatically.
Configure MAX_PREEXEC_RETRY to limit the number of times LSF retries job pre-
execution. Pre-execution retry is configured cluster-wide (lsb.params), at the queue level
(lsb.queues), and at the application level (lsb.applications).
MAX_PREEXEC_RETRY in lsb.applications overrides lsb.queues, and
lsb.queues overrides lsb.params configuration.
Control how many times a job can be requeued
By default, if a job fails and its exit value falls into REQUEUE_EXIT_VALUES, LSF requeues
the job automatically. Jobs that fail repeatedly are requeued without limit, which can result in
reduced performance and throughput.
