Synopsis
bsub -rConflicting options
Do not use with the -rn option.
Description
If the execution host becomes unavailable while a job is running, specifies that the job be rerun on another host. LSF requeues the job in the same job queue with the same job ID. When an available execution host is found, reruns the job as if it were submitted new, even if the job has been checkpointed. You receive a mail message informing you of the host failure and requeuing of the job.
If the system goes down while a job is running, specifies that the job is requeued when the system restarts.
Members of a chunk job can be rerunnable. If the execution host becomes unavailable, rerunnable chunk job members are removed from the queue and dispatched to a different execution host.
Interactive jobs (bsub -I) are not rerunnable.
