Submitting jobs with cluster affinity

As of Fix Pack 15, you can submit jobs for cluster affinity scheduling so that jobs with the same cluster affinity attribute name to run on the same cluster.

Procedure

Use the bsub -jobaff "cluster_affinity(attribute_name)" command option to specify cluster affinity attribute names for cluster affinity scheduling.

The first job that LSF encounters with a specific cluster affinity attribute is scheduled normally. Following jobs with the same cluster affinity attribute will be sent to the same cluster as the first job.

For example, to show cluster affinity associations in long format, run:

bsub –jobaff "cluster_affinity(myattribute)"
