LSB_BWAIT_IN_JOBS

Specifies whether LSF uses the bwait command within a job.

Syntax

LSB_BWAIT_IN_JOBS=Y | y | N | n

Description

Set this parameter to N to prevent LSF from using the bwait command within a job. This prevents running jobs from blocking slots with the bwait command, since blocking slots leads to low slot utilization. Both the bwait command and the mbatchd daemon read this parameter, so ensure that you configure this parameter on all lsf.conf files if you have non-shared installed servers.

If the bwait command is allowed to run within a job, LSF posts the wait condition as an external status message, which means that running a query on the job shows the wait condition.

Default

Y
