Z.135 Setting Queue Resource Controls with Resource Request Syntax 2.0

Using the -L syntax, you can set default, minimum, and maximum values for lproces, memory, swap, disk, sockets, numanode, cores and threads with resource request 2.0.

These can be set in the general format:

qmgr -c "set queue <queue_name> req_information_[default|min|max].[lprocs|memory|swap|disk|sockets|numanode|core|thread]

Example Z-22: Jobs using -L syntax

qmgr -c "set queue q1 req_information_default.lprocs=2"

qmgr -c "set queue q1 req_information_minimum.memory=2gb"

qmgr -c "set queue q1 req_information_maximum.core=10

When req_information_default.* settings are set, only jobs with the -L syntax are accepted. Jobs submitted using the -l (resources_default.*) setting will be rejected with a message citing conflicting resource requests. If you want a queue to be able to accept both kinds of jobs and still be able to enforce defaults, then simply set defaults for both resource request types. See Example Z-23 for more information.

Example Z-23: Jobs using -L or -l syntax

This example shows how to enable a queue to be able to accept both kinds of jobs and still be able to enforce defaults.

qmgr -c "create queue batch"

qmgr -c "set queue batch queue_type = Execution"

qmgr -c "set queue batch resources_default.mem = 3gb"

qmgr -c "set queue batch enabled = True"

qmgr -c "set queue batch started = True"

qmgr -c "set queue batch req_information_default.memory = 3gb

In this example, jobs submitted that explicitly use the -L syntax will have the req_information_default.memory setting applied. If the job does not explicitly use this syntax, then the resources_default.mem setting will be applied.
