Description
CAUTION: By default, this command can only be used by LSF administrators or root.
Reserves job slots in advance for a specified period of time for a user or user group,
or for system maintenance purposes. Use
-b and -e for one-time reservations, and
-t for recurring reservations.
To allow users to create their own advance reservations without administrator
intervention, configure advance reservation policies in the ResourceReservation
section of
lsb.resources.
Only administrators, root, or the users listed in the ResourceReservation section
can add reservations for themselves or any other user or user group.
Options
-o Creates an open advance reservation. A job with an open advance reservation only
has the advance reservation property during the reservation window, after which
the job becomes a normal job, not subject to termination when the reservation
window closes.
This prevents jobs from being killed if the reservation window is too small. Instead,
the job is suspended and normal scheduling policies apply after the reservation
window.
-s Creates a reservation for system use. LSF does not dispatch jobs to the specified
hosts while the reservation is active.
When specifying a system reservation with
-s, you do not need to specify the
number of job slots to reserve with the
-n option.
-b begin_time Begin time for a one-time reservation. The begin time is in the form
[[[year:]month:]day:]hour:minute
with the following ranges:
◆ year: any year after 1900 (YYYY)
◆ month: 1-12 (MM)
◆ day of the month: 1-31 (dd)
◆ hour: 0-23 (hh)
