Multiple esubs (master + remote) in a multicluster setup

We use LSF in a multicluster configuration. We also use an esub to dynamically assign which jobs are sent to each cluster. As far as I'm aware, only one esub (on the master) can be used. We would like to have functionality for esubs on the remote ...

License Scheduler fix INUSE license token detection on same-server Jobs

The License Scheduler is unable to correctly identify the INUSE and RESERVE values of requested tokens (e.g. rusage[MYTOKEN=4], when more than one jobs run on the same server by the same user. Possible solution:This could be solved, if the License...

blaunch to handle resized jobs

In a dynamic cluster cloud environment, blaunch cannot handle resizing of the jobs. We are requesting for the addition and deletion of hosts from an LSF cluster with blaunch able to handle the network IO and exit with the return code from the job'...

Allow user to sumit a job that that can override auto-attach and have a null SLA

PSUSP jobs need JOB_CONTROLS

Users need notifications when jobs are PSUSP due to pre-exec failures, and JOB_CONTROLS do not work because the job isn't RUN when it is suspended. We also need a tunable parameter to have these jobs killed after some amount of time.

Enhance the Support Tool to be able to remove ZOMBI jobs and create a log of exec hosts and pgids that need to be cleaned

We had an issue where LSF could not keep up with dispatch due to high numbers of ZOMBI jobs. We would like the ability to shut down LSF and clean up the ZOMBI jobs via a Database repair to accelerate the time-to-restore of the LSF clusters.

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...

Add a JobID's column to the table grid_hosts_gpu and show in Job Details page

It would be very beneficial to reporting to see which jobid's are allocated to which jobs when it comes to the GPU assigned. This way, the user can look at the ELIM graphs and know that their job is actually using the GPU in question. Right now, y...

Support both JSON, YAML payloads in addition to the current XML payload when using the REST API

We currently have a projects where users will be submitting and controlling workload through Application Center. The customer is asking that they be allowed to continue to use JSON payload instead of XML payload for job submission and control.

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...
