Synopsis

bsub -ext[sched] "external_scheduler_options"

Description

To enable jobs to accept external scheduler options, set LSF_ENABLE_EXTSCHEDULER=y in lsf.conf.

You can abbreviate the -extsched option to -ext.

You can specify only one type of external scheduler option in a single -extsched string.

The options set by -extsched can be combined with the queue-level MANDATORY_EXTSCHED or DEFAULT_EXTSCHED parameters. If -extsched and MANDATORY_EXTSCHED set the same option, the MANDATORY_EXTSCHED setting is used. If -extsched and DEFAULT_EXTSCHED set the same options, the -extsched setting is used.

Use DEFAULT_EXTSCHED in lsb.queues to set default external scheduler options for a queue.

To make certain external scheduler options mandatory for all jobs submitted to a queue, specify MANDATORY_EXTSCHED in lsb.queues with the external scheduler options you need or your jobs.
