In order for a job to land on a host with an exclusive resource, you need to explicitly specify that resource for the resource requirements. The following example issues a command to display the host with the bigmem exclusive resource for your program to run on:

lsrun -m ‘lsplace -R "bigmem"‘ myprogram

The -wand -noptions can be combined to specify the upper and lower bounds in processors to be returned, respectively. For example, the command

lsplace -n 3 -v 5

returns at least 3 and not more than 5 host names.

Diagnostics

lsplace returns 1 if insufficient hosts are available. The exit status is -10 if a problem is detected in LSF, -1 for other errors, otherwise 0.
