Bad host specification: local cluster name cannot be specified. Job not submitted

Hi,

When I specify a cluster name in the configuration I can no longer submit jobs. It gives the :”Bad host specification: local cluster name cannot be specified. Job not submitted." I found out that when you specify a cluster name, then then OOD decides that it will submit the job in LSF “bsub -m custernamehere etc” We don’t submit jobs using the -m. How can I turn this off in OOD?

Don’t specify clustername in the cluster.d configuration.

Hi,

Well I’m trying to get interactive apps running and as far as I know, I read that was a requirement. OOD v3.1.7

The docs say ‘required to enable multi-cluster support’ which I’m guessing you don’t have.

When you remove it, what’s the behavior you see?

Hi,

So this is definitely a bug:

[dweise@submithost 192]$ bsub -m lsf_clustername < myscript.sh
Bad host specification: local cluster name cannot be specified. Job not submitted.
[dweise@submithost 192]$
[dweise@submithost 192]$ bsub -clusters lsf_clustername < myscript.sh
Job <41455387> is submitted to queue <normal_queue>.

OK, it could be some sort of compatibility issue in LSF.

What version of LSF are you running?

Hi,

ok it works. I can submit a job if I remove the cluster name. But will I be able to setup interactive apps if I can’t specify a cluster?

The version of LSF is: IBM Spectrum LSF Standard 10.1.0.14,
