IBM Platform LSF 9.1.3 Fix 248771 Readme File

Abstract

P100864. Fix to restore how LSF handles span[ptile='!'] resource requirements to the previous LSF 9.1.2 behavior.

Description

Readme documentation for IBM Platform LSF 9.1.3 Fix 248771 including installation-related instructions, prerequisites and co-requisites, and list of fixes.

This fix addresses the following issue:

If the job has the span[ptile='!'] resource requirement, but user who submitted the job did not define MXJ for any host type/model in lsb.hosts, and the user also did not specify a slot requirement for any host type/model in the span[] clause of job's submission command:
- LSF 9.1.2 or older versions ignore the span[ptile='!'] resource requirement and treat the job as an ordinary parallel job.
- LSF 9.1.3 does not ignore the span[ptile='!'] requirement but treats this clause as span[ptile=1].

This fix restores the previous LSF 9.1.2 behavior for handling span[ptile='!'] resource requirements.
