For example:
brsvadd -n 3 -M "hostA hostB" -u user2 -b 16:0 -e 17:0 -d "Production
AR test"
Reservation user2#0 (Production AR test) is created
brsvadd -n 2 -N Production_AR -M hostA -u user2 -b 16:0 -e 17:0 -d
"Production AR test"
Reservation Production_AR (Production AR test) is created
If a job already exists that references a reservation with the specified name, an error
message is returned: The specified reservation name is referenced by a job.
-n job_slots Number of job slots to reserve. job_slots must be less than or equal to the actual
number of job slots for the hosts selected by
-m or -R for the reservation.
If you also specify the reservation for system use with the
-s option, -n is optional.
-R "res_req" Selects hosts for the reservation according to the specified resource requirements.
Only hosts that satisfy the resource requirement expression are reserved.
-R accepts
any valid resource requirement string, but only the select string takes effect.
If you also specify a host list with the
-m option, -R is optional.
For more information about specifying resource requirement strings, see
Administering Platform LSF.
The size of the resource requirement string is limited to 512 bytes.
-t time_window Time window for a recurring reservation.
To specify a time window, specify two time values separated by a hyphen (-), with
no space in between:
time_window = begin_time-end_time
Times are specified in the format:
[day:]hour[:minute]
where all fields are numbers with the following ranges:
◆ day of the week: 0-6 (0 is Sunday)
◆ hour: 0-23
◆ minute: 0-59
Specify a time window one of the following ways:
◆ hour-hour
◆ hour:minute-hour:minute
◆ day:hour:minute-day:hour:minute
The default value for minute is 0 (on the hour); the default value for day is every day
of the week.
You must specify at least the hour. Day of the week and minute are optional. Both
the start time and end time values must use the same syntax. If you do not specify
a minute, LSF assumes the first minute of the hour (
:00). If you do not specify a day,
LSF assumes every day of the week. If you do specify the day, you must also specify
the minute.
You can specify multiple time windows, but they cannot overlap. For example:
timeWindow(8:00-14:00 18:00-22:00)
