IBM Platform LSF 9.1.3 Fix 415196 Readme File

Abstract

P101807. Fix to resolve issue when LIC_SERVER line in lsf.licensescheduler is too long. Servers will not be polled to query license information.

Description

Readme documentation for IBM Platform LSF 9.1.3 Fix 415196 including installation-related instructions, prerequisites and co-requisites, and list of fixes.

This fix addresses the following issue:

If the LIC_SERVER line in lsf.licensescheduler is too long, license servers will be lost in the output of "blcstat -l". The root cause of the issue is that a fixed size buffer is used to hold the processed LIC_SERVER line in the bld startup process. If the processed LIC_SERVER is longer than the buffer size, license servers will be lost in the output.
In this fix, the fixed size buffer is changed to be dynamic. It will reallocate more memory if it calculates that the processed LIC_SERVER is longer than the current buffer size.
