About this task
User-assigned job priorities are supported in MultiCluster
job forwarding mode. Jobs submitted with -sp are
passed to the execution cluster with the specified priority.
To set up maximum user-assigned job priority,
do the following:
Procedure
- Configure maximum user-assigned job priority in both the
submission cluster and the execution cluster.
Edit lsb.params and
define MAX_USER_PRIORITY. This configuration applies to all queues
in the cluster.
MAX_USER_PRIORITY=integer
Specifies
the maximum priority a user can assign to a job. Specify a positive
integer. Larger values represent higher priority. 1 is the lowest
priority. For example, MAX_USER_PRIORITY=100 specifies that
100 is the maximum job priority that a user can specify. LSF and queue
administrators can assign a job priority higher than the MAX_USER_PRIORITY
value for jobs they own.
- Use bparams -l to display
the value of MAX_USER_PRIORITY.
