Adding a queue

Edit the lsb.queues file to add the new queue definition. Adding a queue does not affect pending or running jobs.

1. Log in as the administrator on any host in the cluster.
2. Edit the LSB_CONFDIR/cluster_name/configdir/lsb.queues file to add the new queue definition.

   You can copy another queue definition from this file as a starting point. Remember to change the QUEUE_NAME parameter of the copied queue.

3. Save the changes to the lsb.queues file.
4. When the configuration files are ready, run the badmin ckconfig command to check the new queue definition.
   If any errors are reported, fix the problem and check the configuration again.
5. Run the badmin reconfig command to reconfigure the cluster.

   % badmin reconfig
   Checking configuration files ...
   No errors found.
   Do you want to reconfigure? [y/n] y
   Reconfiguration initiated

   The badmin reconfig command also checks for configuration errors. If no unrecoverable errors are found, you are asked to confirm reconfiguration. If unrecoverable errors are found, reconfiguration exits.
