Configuring job priority

Procedure

  1. To configure user-assigned job priority edit lsb.params and define MAX_USER_PRIORITY. This configuration applies to all queues in your cluster.
    MAX_USER_PRIORITY=max_priority

    where max_priority specifies the maximum priority that a user can assign to a job. Valid values are positive integers. Larger values represent higher priority; 1 is the lowest.

    LSF and queue administrators can assign priority beyond max_priority for jobs they own.

  2. Use bparams -l to display the value of MAX_USER_PRIORITY.

Example

MAX_USER_PRIORITY=100 Specifies that 100 is the maximum job priority that can be specified by a user.
