LSF retained the original Max Locked Memory and not the updated one


The value of “max locked memory” has been modified at the operating system level, but LSF still returns the original value.

Symptoms before updating max locked memory

[user1@cluster-h00 ~]$ bsub -q myQueue -W 120:00 -n 16 -P myProjectGroup -m compute-node1 -I ulimit -a
Job <32400> is submitted to default queue <normal>.
