IBM Platform LSF 9.1.1 Fix 335012 Readme File
Abstract
P100967 . Fix to allow sbatchd to attempt to initialize the socket serveral times when system is too busy to release a port.
Description
Readme documentation for IBM Platform LSF 9.1.1 Fix 335012 including installation-related instructions, prerequisites and co-requisites, and list of fixes.
This fix addresses the following issue:
When the system is too busy to release a port,
it will cause the sbatchd restart to fail because the socket failed to initialize.
This fix introduces the following parameters in
lsf.conf to control the retry behavior:
LSB_SBD_STARTUP_RETRY_TIMES
Syntax
LSB_SBD_STARTUP_RETRY_TIMES=integer
Description
The maximum
number of times for sbatchd to try to initialize a socket when the first
attempt failed.
Valid values
0
-INFINIT_INT.
INFINIT_INT
is defined in lsf.h.
Default
0. sbatchd
does not try to initialize a socket if the first attempt failed.
See also
LSB_SBD_STARTUP_RETRY_INTERVAL
LSB_SBD_STARTUP_RETRY_INTERVAL
Syntax
LSB_SBD_STARTUP_RETRY_INTERVAL=seconds
Description
If sbatchd failed to initialize
socket, this parameter specifies the amount of time before sbatchd tries again
(if LSB_SBD_STARTUP_RETRY_TIMES is specified).
Valid values
1 - INFINIT_INT.
INFINIT_INT is
defined in lsf.h.
Default
If
LSB_SBD_STARTUP_RETRY_TIMES is defined, the default value is 1.
Otherwise, not defined.
