IBM Platform LSF 9.1.2 Fix 446649 Readme File

Abstract

P102158. Fix to enhance lsb.stream file to help Analytics calculate pending time for re-runnable jobs that are requeued when execution hosts become unavailable.

Description

Readme documentation for IBM Platform LSF 9.1.2 Fix 446649 including installation-related instructions, prerequisites and co-requisites, and list of fixes.

This fix addresses the following issue:

Rerunnable jobs get requeued when execution hosts are unavailable. This means that  Analytics does not correctly calculate the job pending time.

This fix adds a job signal event before the job finish event in the lsb.stream, allowing Analytics to correctly calculate pending time for these jobs.

A new parameter, LOG_JOB_SIGNAL_FOR_HOST_UNAVAIL, is added in lsb.params to control whether to log an additional job signal event.

    Name:

    LOG_JOB_SIGNAL_FOR_HOST_UNAVAIL = Y|y|N|n

    Description:

    If enabled (set to Y|y), when slave hosts become unavailable, LSF logs a job signal event before the first job finish event in the lsb.stream file for rerunnable jobs that run on those slave hosts.

    Default:

    N
