Command Reference Guide

Platform LSF Command Reference 187
The options set by -extsched can be combined with the queue-level
MANDATORY_EXTSCHED or DEFAULT_EXTSCHED parameters. If
-extsched and MANDATORY_EXTSCHED set the same option, the
MANDATORY_EXTSCHED setting is used. If
-extsched and
DEFAULT_EXTSCHED set the same options, the
-extsched setting is used.
Use DEFAULT_EXTSCHED in
lsb.queues to set default external scheduler
options for a queue.
To make certain external scheduler options mandatory for all jobs submitted to a
queue, specify MANDATORY_EXTSCHED in
lsb.queues with the external
scheduler options you need or your jobs.
See Using Platform LSF HPC for information about specific external scheduler
options.
-F file_limit Sets a per-process (soft) file size limit for each of the processes that belong to the
batch job (see
getrlimit(2)). The limit is specified in KB.
If a job process attempts to write to a file that exceeds the file size limit, then that
process is sent a SIGXFSZ signal. The SIGXFSZ signal normally terminates the
process.
-f "local_file operator [remote_file]" ...
Copies a file between the local (submission) host and the remote (execution) host.
Specify absolute or relative paths, including the file names. You should specify the
remote file as a file name with no path when running in non-shared systems.
If the remote file is not specified, it defaults to the local file, which must be given.
Use multiple
-f options to specify multiple files.
operator
An operator that specifies whether the file is copied to the remote host, or whether
it is copied back from the remote host. The operator must be surrounded by white
space.
The following describes the operators:
> Copies the local file to the remote file before the job starts. Overwrites the remote
file if it exists.
< Copies the remote file to the local file after the job completes. Overwrites the local
file if it exists.
<< Appends the remote file to the local file after the job completes. The local file
must exist.
>< Copies the local file to the remote file before the job starts. Overwrites the
remote file if it exists. Then copies the remote file to the local file after the job
completes. Overwrites the local file.
<> Copies the local file to the remote file before the job starts. Overwrites the
remote file if it exists. Then copies the remote file to the local file after the job
completes. Overwrites the local file.
If you use the
-i input_file option, then you do not have to use the -f option to copy
the specified input file to the execution host. LSF does this for you, and removes the
input file from the execution host after the job completes.
