Options

You must specify at least hour:minute. Year, month, and day are optional. Three

fields are assumed to be day:hour:minute, four fields are assumed to be

month:day:hour:minute, and five fields are year:month:day:hour:minute.

If you do not specify a day, LSF assumes the current day. If you do not specify a month, LSF assumes the current month. If you specify a year, you must specify a month.

The offset is in minutes, an integer with a prefix+ or -. For example, -b+5moves the begin time 5 minutes later, and -b-5moves the begin time 5 minutes earlier.

The modified time value for -bmust use the same syntax as the time value for -e. It must be earlier than the time value for -e, and cannot be earlier than the current time.

-d "description" Replaces or sets a description for the reservation. The description must be provided as a double quoted text string. The maximum length is 512 characters.

-eend_time [+ -]minutes

Replaces the end time for a one-time reservation, or gives an offset in minutes to the current end time.

By giving a positive offset to the end time, you extend the duration of a reservation so that the jobs in the reservation can run longer. Shrinking the reservation with a negative value terminates running jobs earlier.

The end 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)

◆minute: 0-59 (mm)

You must specify at least hour:minute. Year, month, and day are optional. Three

fields are assumed to be day:hour:minute, four fields are assumed to be

month:day:hour:minute, and five fields are year:month:day:hour:minute.

If you do not specify a day, LSF assumes the current day. If you do not specify a month, LSF assumes the current month. If you specify a year, you must specify a month.

The time value for -emust use the same syntax as the time value for -b. It must be later than the time value for -b.

-ggroup_name Changes the user group that is able to submit jobs to the reservation. Changing the user group does not affect the currently running jobs.

Jobs submitted by the original user group to the reservation still belong to the reservation and scheduled as advance reservation jobs, but newly submitted jobs from a user group that has been removed from the reservation cannot use the reservation any longer.

The -ggroup_name option does not support the @cluster notation for advance reservations on remote clusters.
