IBM Platform LSF 9.1.3 Fix 367994 Readme File

Abstract

P101322. This fix prevents preempted LSF jobs from remaining suspended when sbatchd failed to update the status of the suspended job.

Description

Readme documentation for IBM Platform LSF 9.1.3 Fix 367994 including installation-related instructions, prerequisites and co-requisites, and list of fixes.

This fix addresses the following issue:

When a low priority job in LSF is preempted by a higher priority job, the low priority job might remain suspended even after the higher priority jobs are done. This is because the suspended job reserves the resources it needs while its status is still suspended. This happens because sbatchd failed to update the status of the suspended job.
