IBM Spectrum LSF 10.1 Fix 487803 Readme File

Abstract

P102540. The fix correctly handles the job's status and the host's IP address information.

Description

Readme documentation for IBM Spectrum LSF 10.1 Fix 487803 including installation-related instructions, prerequisites and co-requisites, and list of fixes.

This fix addresses the following issue:

If the script runs a command in the background and is used as arguments of the bsub command for submitting a new job, LSF marks the wrong status for the job after the sbatchd daemon on the execution host is restarted.

Meanwhile, LSF cannot correctly retrieve the host's IP address information if the host has multiple IP addresses with the same name in different domains.
