Configure mbatchd to push new job information to child mbatchd

Before you begin

The LSB_QUERY_PORT must be defined in the lsf.conf file.

About this task

If you have enabled multithreaded mbatchd support, the bjobs command might not display up-to-date information if two consecutive query commands are issued before a child mbatchd expires because child mbatchd job information is not updated. Use the NEWJOB_REFRESH=Y in the lsb.params file to enable a child mbatchd to get up-to-date new job information from the parent mbatchd.

When the NEWJOB_REFRESH=Y parameter is configured, the parent mbatchd daemon pushes new job information to a child mbatchd daemon. Job queries with the bjobs command display new jobs submitted after the child mbatchd was created.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the host as the primary LSF administrator.
  2. Edit the lsb.params file.
  3. Add the NEWJOB_REFRESH=Y parameter .

    You should set the MBD_REFRESH_TIME parameter in the lsb.params file to a value greater than 10 seconds.

  4. Save the lsb.params file.
  5. Reconfigure the cluster as follows:
