Description

Readme documentation for IBM Spectrum LSF 10.1 Fix 527893 including installation-related instructions, prerequisites and co-requisites, and list of fixes.

This fix addresses the following issue:

Available resources on hosts within the cluster are reported by the mbatchd to the mbschd. It is possible that if a job running on a host is modified (using bmod) the memory load reported by the mbatchd for that host can be wrong. This issue is now corrected.
