Abstract
P104286. This fix prevents jobs from remaining in pending state for two cases: for GPU jobs when LSB_RB_AVAIL_RESOURCE=Y is configured in lsf.conf, and when the LSF resource connector is enabled for jobs submitted with the select[hname=='xxx'] resreq.
Description

5. Installation and configuration
Before you install
LSF_TOP is the full path to the top-level installation directory of LSF.
1. Before you apply this fix, ensure that you installed LSF 10.1 Fix Pack 12 or later. You can download LSF 10.1 Fix Pack 12 from https://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral. Search for build600488. Contact IBM LSF Support if you have any questions or problems with installing Fix Pack 12.
2.
Starting in LSF 10.1 Fix Pack 13, the default values of
the following three GPU parameters are changed to:
LSF_GPU_AUTOCONFIG=Y
LSB_GPU_NEW_SYNTAX=extend
LSF_GPU_RESOURCE_IGNORE=Y
If you have Fix Pack 13 installed, these GPU parameters not
configured in the lsf.conf configuration file will take the default values, and the parameters
already configured in the lsf.conf file will not be affected.
If you want to keep the former GPU behavior, and if any of the
three parameters are missing in the lsf.conf configuration file, you must
explicitly configure the following default settings that are defined in Fix
Pack 12 or earlier:
LSF_GPU_AUTOCONFIG=N
LSB_GPU_NEW_SYNTAX=N
LSF_GPU_RESOURCE_IGNORE=N
