Description

Readme documentation for IBM Spectrum LSF 10.1 Fix 601375 including installation-related instructions, prerequisites and co-requisites, and list of fixes.

This fix addresses the following issue:

A previous fix allowed the job command line to be unlimited, allowing the size of the lsb.events file to grow quickly if job command lines were long. This fix allows the job command line to be truncated if its length exceeds 4096 characters. Job execution isn’t affected.

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 above. You can download Fix Pack 12 from https://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral and 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, and these GPU parameters are not configured in the lsf.conf configuration file, they will take the default values. If the parameters are already configured in the lsf.conf file with other values, they 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

3.      Log on to the LSF management host as the LSF primary administrator.

4.      Set your environment:
-For csh or tcsh: % source LSF_TOP/conf/cshrc.lsf
-For sh, ksh, or bash: $ . LSF_TOP/conf/profile.lsf
