What’s new in IBM® Spectrum LSF License Scheduler Version 10.1.0 Fix Pack 7

The following topics summarize the new and changed behavior in LSF License Scheduler 10.1 Fix Pack 7.

Release date: January 2019

Prevent license preemption

LSF License Scheduler now provides an option to prevent license preemption even if the administrator configures ownership.

Control the prevention of license preemption with the DISABLE_PREEMPTION parameter in the Feature section of the lsf.licensescheduler file. When set to Y or y, LSF License Scheduler prevents license preemption and resets the project ownership to 0. This ensures that license preemption never occurs regardless of whether projects are configured with ownership or NON_SHARED. The DISABLE_PREEMPTION parameter only supports project mode and fast dispatch mode. By default, this parameter is set to N (that is, not enabled).
