Using Job Groups
Creating a job group
Use the bgadd command to create a new job group. You must provide full
group path name for the new job group. The last component of the path is the
name of the new group to be created:
◆ % bgadd /risk_group
creates a job group named risk_group under the root group /.
◆ % bgadd /risk_group/portfolio1
creates a job group named portfolio1 under job group /risk_group.
◆ % bgadd /risk_group/portfolio1/current
creates a job group named current under job group
/risk_group/portfolio1.
If the group hierarchy /risk_group/portfolio1/current does not exist,
LSF checks its parent recursively, and if no groups in the hierarchy exist, all
three job groups are created with the specified hierarchy.
Submitting jobs under a job group
Use the -g option of bsub to submit a job into a job group. The job group does
not have to exist before submitting the job. For example:
% bsub -g /risk_group/portfolio1/current myjob
Job is submitted to default queue.
Submits myjob to the job group /risk_group/portfolio1/current.
If group /risk_group/portfolio1/current exists, job 105 is attached to
the job group.
If group /risk_group/portfolio1/current does not exist, LSF checks its
parent recursively, and if no groups in the hierarchy exist, all three job groups
are created with the specified hierarchy and the job is attached to group.
-g and -sla options You cannot use the -g option with -sla. A job can either be attached to a job
group or a service class, but not both.
Viewing jobs in job groups
bjgroup command
bjobs command
Use the bjgroup command to see information about jobs in specific job
groups.
