Would like a way to stop/suspend/resume a task inside a Session Scheduler job

This would be pretty useful for debugging a broken task or one that needs to be suspended for a time.

Provide a bjobs equivalent for all active sessions in a Session Scheduler job

We need to have a way to see which tasks are running and how long they have been running to find potentially 'stuck' processes.

expand -o options for bqueues

The current bqueues -o options are useful, and it would be helpful to add the resource limits (e.g., memlimit, cpulimit, etc.) as they currently require 'bqueues -l |grep -A1 LIMIT' to collect the information.

Have LSF Handle ZOMBI job searching using either BTREE or HASH ALGO's

Make the TCP Backlog for the MBATCH and MBATCHD Query Port Configurable for Large Clusters

We have been monitoring the TCP backlogs for LIM, MBD, and the Query port for some time, and there are periods where the MBD query port becomes overloaded resulting in a higher than expected count of UNKNOWN and sometimes eventually ZOMBI jobs, an...

GPU report to show GPU usage and GPU memory usaage

We use the resource usage reporting of LSF and would like to have a GPU report that is similar to the CPU accounting. Right now, GPU accounting is quite simple. For example, we would like to have something like GPU memory usage, charge back, faile...

Set the "+pref_level" for hosts or host_groups in lsb.hosts

Currently it's possible in lsb.queues to set the "+pref_level" for hosts or host_groups in the "HOSTS" section to prioritize some hosts for job submission. We have various host groups defined in lsb.hosts and would like to set the +pref_level for ...
