Add Tooltips for Various LSF Attributes

Today, on many Cacti pages, table headers include tooltips that explain the dimensions that are displayed in the table. It would be nice to have that for the 13 standard load indexes in LSF, and be able to pull the description from lsf.shared for ...

Show complete names and pathes of error and output files in the LSF RTM grid console

RTM truncates the names/pathes of error and output files in the grid console which makes the filenames for long pathes unreadable and potentially indistinguishable, i.e. unusable.

Have LSF track the number of status changes and requeues for a job over time

Basically, right now, there is no way to look at LSF's jobInfo record to know how many times a job has been requeued via either a pre-exec/jobstarter failure, or from a manual requeue. Additionally, there is no way to determine how many times a jo...

Threshold for over allocation in License Scheduler

Based on the license availability and the demand from certain project(s), LSF License scheduler can allocate more license to a project, then its define share of licenses. If limits are defined, it leads to under utilization and wastage of licenses...

LSF / Extend "span[hosts=xx]" capability to several hosts to optimize cpu utilization in exclusive context

There is no way today to optimize CPU utilization over several hosts, i.e. to specify on how many servers the job should be dispatched, and let LSF use all available cpu on these hosts. This works fine with 1 single host, using cpu range and "span...

Simplify the Removal of a specific select string or rusage from a running or pending job

It would be nice if we simply had the ability to bmod away a reservation without having to reconstruct the entirety of the bsub -R "blah" syntax. I would much prefer to do something like: bmod --remove-reservation mylicense [options] jobid ... V...

Set 2 levels for loadSched

1. By design, if the loadSched condition is not satisfied, no jobs can be dispatched to the host. Even if we submit a job which will not use the lacking resource, the job can't be dispatched to the host, either. 2. We think this is a waste of the ...
