Fixed Bugs for IBM Platform LSF Version 9.1.3
Release Date: July 31 2014
The following bugs have been fixed in LSF Version 9.1.3 between 8 October 2013 and 21 July
2014:
223287 Date
Description
2013-12-06
The preemption calculation was refined for shared resources to improve the
preemption performance and throughput of the whole cluster.
Component mbschd, schmod_preemption.so
Platform
Impact
223587 Date
All
Throughput of the cluster is diminished when it takes a long time to get small jobs
preempted.
2013-10-16
The parameter MAX_EVENT_STREAM_SIZE cannot limit the size of the lsb.status
file.
Description
After this fix, either the oldest lsb.stream.timestamp file or the oldest
lsb.status.timestamp file will be deleted and then a new file will be written when
the number for MAX_EVENT_STREAM_FILE_NUMBER is reached.
Component mbatchd, liblsbstream.so
Platform
All
The lsb.status file grows to a very large size and causes a storage space issue.
Impact
When the storage system does not work well, the LSF cluster may become
unavailable.
223589 Date
Description
2013-10-09
Duplicate data is logged in the lsb.status file which causes a PK violation in PA.
Component mbatchd
Platform
All
Impact
223671 Date
Description
Cluster Admin sees many PK violations on Platform Analytics side.
2013-11-01
When running a large number of short jobs (for example, sleep 3) on a Windows host,
some jobs show as exited even though they ran successfully.
Component res.exe
Platform
Windows
Impact
All jobs run successfully, but LSF reports that some small jobs have exited.
223799 Date
2014-05-04
To allow for enabling and disabling the sourcing of LSB_SUB_PARAM_FILE without
causing an error, the internal parameter
LSB_SUB_ADDITIONAL_REMOVAL_FROM_PARAMFILE (in lsf.conf) is used. When
Description
LSB_SUB_ADDITIONAL_REMOVAL_FROM_PARAMFILE is set as Y or y,
LSB_SUB_ADDITIONAL should be removed from LSB_SUB_PARAM_FILE and
exported as an environment variable. By default, LSB_SUB_ADDITIONAL is not
removed and the setting of LSB_SUB_ADDITIONAL_REMOVAL_FROM_PARAMFILE is
incorrectly regarded as N or n.
Component bsub, mesub
Platform
All
Impact
A script using LSB_SUB_ADDITIONAL no longer works in LSF 9.1.1.
224016 Date
2013-10-20
POE will core dump if a user specifies LSB_PJL_TASK_GEOMETRY in the submission
Description
script for a job and the number of task groups in the task geometry is not equal to the
number of execution hosts allocated by LSF.
Component permapi.so
Platform
Linux
Impact
224323 Date
POE jobs run inside an LSF core dump.
2013-10-31
When using bsub -M to submit an exclusive job with a memory limit so large that it
Description
exceeds the execution host’s maximum physical memory, an out of memory (OOM)
condition occurs.
Component sbatchd
Platform
Linux\UNIX
Impact
A host becomes unavailable when the job exceeds the host’s memory.
224677 Date
2013-10-14
The XDR buffer used by the Master LIM to send resource information to the remote
cluster is set to a fixed size. If the number of resources on a cluster is increased so
Description
that the resource information size is larger than the buffer, connections between the
member clusters will break.
In this fix, the buffer size is calculated dynamically based on resource configuration in
a cluster.
Component lim
Platform
All
Impact
Platform MultiCluster fails if too many resources are defined in lsf.shared.
224701 Date
2013-10-29

scheduling. This may occur when trying to brun a job when the job is already
scheduled.
Component mbschd
Platform
Impact
All

complain to administrators.
224928 Date
2013-10-31
When cgroup accounting features are enabled (set by LSB_MEMLIMIT_ENFORCE=y,
LSF_PROCESS_TRACKING=Y, or LSF_LINUX_CGROUP_ACCT=Y in lsf.conf), the
Description
job may be terminated by a memory limit (set by bsub -M or MEMLIMIT in
lsb.queues).
The memory usage accounting incorrectly shows that the job exceeds the memory
limit, so the job is terminated.
Component sbatchd
Platform
Impact
225236 Date
Linux
The job is terminated by MEMLIMIT unexpectedly when cgroup memory accounting is
enabled.
2013-10-28
When no decay value is defined for the queue, a job submitted with “decay=0" will get
Description
rejected, even though this is a valid value. For example:
bsub –R "rusage[mem=300:decay=0]"
Component mbatchd
Platform
All
Impact
A job with a valid rusage string is rejected.
225401 Date
2013-12-20
mbatchd restarts, replays the events file, and core dumps if you use bsub to submit a
Description
new job and the job's resource requirement string (such as “order[ ]”) is longer
than 511 characters.
Component mbatchd
Platform
All
Impact
mbatchd core dumps and the LSF batch system is unavailable.
226154 Date
2013-11-20
If an interactive job is submitted that tries to pass the job's input data to bsub using a
Description
pipe ( | ), bsub will not forward the input data to the job correctly.
For example, if the command used is echo "exit" | bsub -Ip tcsh -s, the
"exit" string will not be passed to tcsh -s and the job will not exit.
Component bsub
Platform
Linux/Solaris
Impact
Some interactive jobs do not run.
226391 Date
Description

226849 Date
2013-12-24
mbatchd hangs when there are duplicate job events with the same jobID in the
Description
lsb.events file. The duplicate events are caused by the failover, for example, when
the network is operating erratically.
Component mbatchd
Platform
All
Impact
mbatchd does not response and the LSF batch system is unavailable.
227047 Date
2013-12-20
When the nofile limit is set to unlimited, LSF daemons take a long time to start and the
cluster behaves abnormally.
Description
With this fix applied, setting the nofile limit higher than 65535, an INFO level message
will be logged for lim, res, mbatchd, and sbatchd stating: The nofile limit is
in excess of 65535. This may cause performance issues with your
cluster.
Component lim, res, mbatchd, sbatchd
Platform
All
Impact
Cluster becomes unusable.
227222 Date

Component sbatchd.exe
Platform
Impact
227274 Date
Windows
All subsequent jobs remain pending on the host and sbatchd must be restarted to
process the jobs.
2013-12-13

Description
After using bstop, the bjobs output shows the job in SUSPEND status. However, the
job is still running if checked by a system command.
Component sbatchd
Platform
Impact
All

When QJOB_LIMIT is defined in lsb.queues, jobs submitted to the queue
occasionally cannot be dispatched even if there are available slots.
Component mbschd, schmod_limit.so
Platform
All
Impact

Component sbatchd
Platform
All
Impact
Some jobs using long command names may exit with the incorrect status.
228349 Date
2013-12-20
During job cleanup, the effective user ID for sbatchd is changed to root. When the
Description

privilege, the job post script will fail.
Component sbatchd
Platform
Linux
Impact
.lsbatch/* files cannot be cleaned up.
228399 Date
Description
2014-01-28
PREEMPT_JOBTYPE=BACKFILL does not work.
When configuring a low priority queue with a job to preempt a backfill job, LSF does
not allow the job (which may not have a run limit) to preempt the backfill job because
it may delay the start of the job in the high priority queue.
Component mbatchd
Platform
All
Impact

certain conditions.
228501 Date
