Abstract
P105166. This fix addresses two user group issues: 1) mbatchd crashes when running the bqueues -l command after LSF has been reconfigured with specific user group settings, and 2) the LSF fair share scheduling policy ignores a job’s enforcement user group.
Description

This fix addresses the following issues:
1. The mbatchd daemon crashes when running the bqueues -l command after LSF has been reconfigured (using the badmin reconfig command) with these settings:

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, and these GPU
parameters not configured in the lsf.conf configuration file will take
the default values. 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
