Controlling Queues
Dispatch Windows
A dispatch window specifies one or more time periods during which batch jobs
are dispatched to run on hosts. Jobs are not dispatched outside of configured
windows. Dispatch windows do not affect job submission and running jobs
(they are allowed to run until completion). By default, dispatch windows are
not configured, queues are always Active.
To configure dispatch window:
1 Edit lsb.queues
2 Create a DISPATCH_WINDOW keyword for the queue and specify one or
more time windows. For example:
Begin Queue
QUEUE_NAME = queue1
PRIORITY = 45
DISPATCH_WINDOW = 4:30-12:00
End Queue
3 Reconfigure the cluster using:
a lsadmin reconfig
b badmin reconfig
4 Run bqueues -l to display the dispatch windows.
Run Windows
A run window specifies one or more time periods during which jobs
dispatched from a queue are allowed to run. When a run window closes,
running jobs are suspended, and pending jobs remain pending. The
suspended jobs are resumed when the window opens again. By default, run
windows are not configured, queues are always Active and jobs can run until
completion.
To configure a run window:
1 Edit lsb.queues.
2 Create a RUN_WINDOW keyword for the queue and specify one or more
time windows. For example:
Begin Queue
QUEUE_NAME = queue1
PRIORITY = 45
RUN_WINDOW = 4:30-12:00
End Queue
3 Reconfigure the cluster using:
a lsadmin reconfig.
b badmin reconfig.
4 Run bqueues -l to display the run windows.
