Make Queue Open/Close/Act/Inact 'all' Requests a single event

We recently had a serious issue that required us to close/inact all of our queues, and then perform a database repair using the IBM support tool. However, when we started LSF, all but one of the queues was Open/Act again. This was due to the suppo...

Improve Job Priority Output to Exceed 1e6 as APS can easily increase Per Job Priority above that value

There is currently a system limitation that Job Priories above 1e6 do not display correctly when using bjobs -o "blah" formatted output. This is currently causing us a monitoring issue when attempting to order jobs with a very high dynamic priorit...

About bjobs in different clusters

Suppose there are two clusters. These two clusters are being used by one business division. However, users who submit jobs are not aware of the cluster. They don't know what cluster they're using and they don't know that they need sourcing fo...

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...

Support Multi-threaded LIM with a Shared Memory Database for Scalability

It would be nice if LSF's LIM used a shared memory database and could accept multiple threads instead of having to constantly fork itself to return client data. The new setting to increase/decrease the LIM connection backlog was informative, but i...

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...

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/...

Set more job variables in parent SBATCHD prior to forking the job SBATCHD/RES

I've been working with the Daemons Wrap source code trying to make the logging more presentable, and I've come accross a hurdle to effectively enhancing that integration. I need both the Job Start and Submit Times, and normally, I would just be ab...

Track a local directory duing job execution and report utilization details in job rusage

We would like to be able to, at submission time, specify a local directory that we would like to have LSF monitor the total size and files in and report in the Jobs RUSAGE periodically. This directory will be separate from the execCwd or the cwd. ...
