Submit a job with specific resources

If you have applications that need specific resources, you should create a new Boolean resource and configure that resource for the appropriate hosts in the cluster.

If you specify a host list by using the -m option of bsub, you must change the host list every time you add a new host that supports the desired resources. By using a Boolean resource, the LSF administrator can add, move, or remove resources without forcing users to learn about changes to resource configuration.
