LSB_MAX_ASKED_HOSTS_NUMBER

Syntax

LSB_MAX_ASKED_HOSTS_NUMBER=integer

Description

Limits the number of hosts a user can specify with the -m (host preference) option of the following commands:

bsub
brun
bmod
brestart
brsvadd
brsvmod
brsvs

The job is rejected if more hosts are specified than the value of LSB_MAX_ASKED_HOSTS_NUMBER.

CAUTION:

If this value is set high, there will be a performance effect if users submit or modify jobs using the -m option and specify a large number of hosts. 512 hosts is the suggested upper limit.

Valid values

Any whole, positive integer.

Default

512
