Allow bjobs command to show the pre and post exec exitStatus/exitCode information

Right now, we require bhist to get any detail on pre/post exec error codes, it would be nice if we could get this from the job record via bjobs vs. bhist. bhist in very large environments is a non-starter for obtaining this status information.

Allow Users to specify a ClearCase 'cleartool' command but require that it be white listed first

Allow the users to override the CLEARTOOL binary path, but only if it's included in a white list configuration file in the $LSF_ENVDIR location. I would suggest something like: cat lsf.daemons.wrap.conf /usr/altira/bin/cleartool /some/authorized/...

LSF doesn't allow multiple LOAN policies on the same hosts

LSF has limitation in SLA LOAN_POLICIES configuration by having only one loan duration time available. It would be great, if SLA LOAN_POLICIES can support option to LOAN for different time to different queues. For example:LOAN_POLICIES = QUEUES[ge...

Provide Minor Enhancement to 'bjobs -env jobid' Command to search and return variables server side

The 'bjobs -env jobid' command is very useful, but in our environment, the job environment can be very large. We plan to use this command as a part of our ESUB modify controls and it could be called quite frequently. Therefore, it will generate a ...

LSF should support mapping resources to host group(s)

We need to map 200 dynamic gpu resources to all 120 gpu nodes due to gpu auto config is not supported in RHEL6. In the current latest LSF 10.1.0.9, we have to add 120 host names to each of 200 resources. This makes lsf.cluster file very messy. And...
