IBM Spectrum LSF 10.1 Fix 504998 Readme File

Abstract

P102774. This fix ensures that the output of blimits command is consistent.

Description

Readme documentation for IBM Spectrum LSF 10.1 Fix 504998 including installation-related instructions, prerequisites and co-requisites, and list of fixes.

This fix addresses the following issue:

If a numeric resource is defined as PER_HOST and used by a limit in the lsb.resources file, the parallel job's usage of this resource might be wrong when the mbatchd daemon restarts or reconfigures and the RESOURCE_RESERVE_PER_TASK parameter is defined as Y in the lsb.params file.
This results in inconsistencies in the blimits command output.
