Abstract

This fix supports LSF hosts with memory/swap/tmp values larger than 2TB.


Description

Readme documentation for IBM Spectrum LSF RTM 10.2 Fix 534789 including installation-related instructions, prerequisites and co-requisites, and list of enhancements.

This fix resolves the following issue:
The host memory/swap values under the 'Cluster' tab and the job's host level memory/swap graph shows 0 when the LSF host memory/swap value is larger than 2TB. This fix supports LSF hosts with memory/swap/tmp values larger than 2TB in LSF RTM. For LSF clusters, LSF, Version 10.1 Fix Pack 9 is needed to support resources larger than 2TB.

You do not need to install this fix if you do not have LSF hosts with this amount of memory and do not want this feature.
