Platform LSF parameters in Platform License Scheduler

Parameters in lsf.conf that start with LSF_LIC_SCHED are relevant to both LSF and License Scheduler:

  • LSF_LIC_SCHED_HOSTS:  LIM starts the License Scheduler daemon (bld) on candidate License Scheduler hosts.

    CAUTION:

    You cannot use LSF_LIC_SCHED_HOSTS if your cluster was installed with UNIFORM_DIRECTORY_PATH or UNIFORM_DIRECTORY_PATH_EGO. Do not set UNIFORM_DIRECTORY_PATH or UNIFORM_DIRECTORY_PATH_EGO for new or upgrade installations. They are for backwards compatibility only.

  • LSF_LIC_SCHED_PREEMPT_REQUEUE : Requeues a job whose license is preempted by License Scheduler. The job will be killed and requeued instead of suspended.

  • LSF_LIC_SCHED_PREEMPT_SLOT_RELEASE : Releases the slot of a job that is suspended when the its license is preempted by License Scheduler.

  • LSF_LIC_SCHED_PREEMPT_STOP : Uses job controls to stop a job that is preempted. When this parameter is set, a UNIX SIGSTOP signal is sent to suspend a job instead of a UNIX SIGTSTP.

  • LSF_LIC_SCHED_STRICT_PROJECT_NAME: Enforces strict checking of the License Scheduler project name upon job submission. If the project named is misspelled (case sensitivity applies), the job is rejected.
