IBM Platform LSF License Scheduler 9.1.0 Fix 240909 Readme File

Abstract

APAR P100627: Fix to resolve License Scheduler issue with blusers -J and issue with mergeTokenWithLocality messages in log file.

Description

Readme documentation for IBM Platform LSF License Scheduler 9.1.0 Fix 240909 including installation-related instructions, prerequisites and co-requisites, and list of fixes.

This fix addresses the following issues:

1. When many small License Scheduler jobs are running, the command blusers -J will hang and finally exit with message like the following example:

Jul 24 17:26:05 2014 6352 3 9.1.0 callglob(): cc -2 Failed in an LSF library call: Communication time out
Network I/O error with the License Scheduler server.

2. When many License Scheduler jobs require the LOCAL_TO feature, many mergeTokenWithLocality messages are logged to the License Scheduler log file even if the configured log level is lower than LOG_DEBUG.
