IBM Spectrum LSF 10.1 Fix 462576 Readme File

Abstract

P102314. This patch fixes a bug where mbatchd will access lsb.jobinfo.events as root rather than as the primary lsf administrator.

Description

Readme documentation for IBM Spectrum LSF 10.1 Fix 462576 including installation-related instructions, prerequisites and co-requisites, and list of fixes.

This fix addresses the following issue:

When the lsb.jobinfo.events is in an NFS location where the NFS option root_squash is set, and the LSB_JOBINFO_DIR parameter is set, then mbatchd will access the lsb.jobinfo.events file as root rather than as the primary LSF administrator.  This will cause mbatchd to crash.
