To prevent another running job suspend on a execution server, admin requests new LSF feature.
It is, all job's total reserved memory value is same or exceeds real physical memory size, admin want the host could be closed automatically.
(This doesn't care extra slots on the server)
Let's suppose there is a server which has 100G memory and 4 slots.
UserA submits a job with 50G mem reservation and 1 slot.
UserB submits a job with 50G mem reservation and 1 slot.
In this situation, 2 slots are remained on this host.
And because these two jobs doesn't use whole 50G MEM from starting point.
In LSF side, this host recognizes that the host has 98-99G mem.
Additionally, lsload and bhosts, this host status would be 'ok'
if userC submit a job with 2 slot without mem reservation, this job will be dispatch to this host.
from begin time to somewhere(we don't know exact point), these 4 jobs are run well
but, from these 4 jobs start to use memory gradually, situation becomes wrong.
So, admin's requirement is,
if users reserve memory and whole reserved memory size is matched with real physical memory, admin want to make that host as "Closed"

This RFE asks for "So customer needs, LSF can make host 'Closed' status when user reserves almost memory of server's, as like NC's 'FULL'."
This functionality can be achieved by setting the loadsched memory threshold for the host(s). The host(s) will then be closed when reserved memory falls below the threshold.
