bkill instrumentation/logging to find source

Currently the bkill command only tracks (lsb.events) who ran it, and what signal was sent. If we have a heavily active user with a broken script, it is very challenging to find the source of the bkill command. It would be valuable to log the sourc...

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...

Dynamic priority based on jobarray length

We exclusively work with jobarrays at our company. We have a queue reserved for jobs that take no more than 3 minutes. A general rule of thumb is that small jobarrays at our company can be considered as interactive jobs where the user waits for th...

RTM to/from LSF communication of Psusp-requeue job notifcation

We have reproduced the issue and it's a timing issue with RTM because LSF does not provide exitinfo when job's pre-exec fails and requeued. Since RTM relies on exitinfo to put it in the correct table, the changes will have to come from LSF. This w...
