Queue states, displayed by bqueues, describe the ability of a queue to accept and start batch jobs using a combination of the following states:
Open: queues accept new jobs
Closed: queues do not accept new jobs
Active: queues start jobs on available hosts
Inactive: queues hold all jobs
State |
Description |
|---|---|
Open:Active |

Closed:Active |

Closed:Inact |

Queue state can be changed by an LSF administrator or root.
Queues can also be activated and inactivated by run windows and dispatch windows (configured in lsb.queues, displayed by bqueues -l).
bqueues -l displays Inact_Adm when explicitly inactivated by an Administrator (badmin qinact), and Inact_Win when inactivated by a run or dispatch window.
