Subcommands

3 slots are required. LSF tries to find as many slots as possible from host1. If 3 slots are not available on host1, then LSF tries to find the rest from host2. Hosts with no slots available are removed from the list when the request is handled.

Subcommands

addhost [-njob_slots [-R "res_req"]] [-m "host_name ... host_group ..."] reservation_ID

Adds hosts and slots on hosts into the original reservation allocation. The hosts can be local to the cluster or hosts leased from remote clusters.

Adding a host without -nreserves all available slots on the host that are not already reserved by other reservations. You can specify the number of slots to be added from the host list specified with -n, but -ncannot be used alone. -mcan be used alone if no host group is specified in the list. You cannot specify -Rwithout with -n.

The specified slot number must be less than or equal to the available number of slots for the hosts.

Only hosts can be added (-m) to a system reservation. Slots cannot be added (-n) to a system reservation.

disable -td"begin_date-end_date" -tn[-f]reservation_ID

Disables specified periods, or instances, of a recurring advance reservation. The start_date and end_date represent the start and end date of a period in which the reservation should be disabled. These periods must take one of the following forms:

yyyy:mm:dd-yyyy:mm:dd

mm:dd-mm:dd- current year is assumed

dd-dd- current month and year are assumed

The start date must be the same as or earlier than the end date.

If a reservation is disabled for a given day, then it does not become active on that day, and remains inactive for the duration of the reservation time window. Non-recurring reservations are able to use slots of the recurring reservation for the duration of the time window.The -tnoption is a shortcut that disables a reservation on the starting day of the next instance of the reservation time window; that is, the instance that starts nearest in the future. If the reservation has already been disabled for this day, the modification request is rejected.

For example, for a weekly reservation with time window from Wednesday 9 a.m. to Friday 10 p.m, if the current day is Monday, then running the command with the -tnoption disables the reservation from Wednesday to Friday of the current week. However, if the current day is Thursday, then the reservation is disabled from Wednesday to Friday of the following week. If it is Wednesday, then whether to disable in the current week or following week depends on whether or not the start time of the instance has passed: if not then the reservation is disabled in the current week, otherwise the following week’s reservation is disabled.

Running the disable command with the -tnoption twice on Monday tries to disable twice in the current week. The second run has no effect, but is rejected because the specified reservation instance is already disabled.
