inform the supervisor of license usage counts from external license managers |
...
- Qube is currently running 60 job instances that are consuming a prman license (via the job being submitted with a reservation of license.prman=1 - see Job Reservations)
- The scripts gets the count from the external licenser server, and finds that now there are actually 80 prman licenses in use according to the prman license server. The script calls:
qbupdateresource --name license.prman=1 --total 100 --used 80
- The supervisor will then assume that there are 20 licenses in use by some external entity, will set the resource usage for
license.prman
to 80, and the only dispatch up to 20 additional instances that reserve this resource

flag behavior explained
The -total
value you give it via the "qbupdateresource" command specifies the grand-total number of licenses, while the value you specify in the qb.conf file's supervisor_global_resources
parameter refers to the total (maximum) number that the farm may use.
So, for instance, if you have in qb.conf:
supervisor_global_resources=license.maya=100
and you run qbupdateresource as in:
qbupdateresource -total 120 -used 80 -name license.maya
you're essentially saying that you have 120 grand-total count of licenses in your studio, while you're allowing the farm to use up to 100 of them. The remaining 20 is reserved for the use outside of the farm.
If, in the above scenario, all the 80 "used" licenses are being used on the farm, then qbadmin s -resource
will display:
license.maya=80/100
Note that the denominator is still 100, because that's the number allotted to the farm.
If 70 is used on the farm, and 10 outside, then:
license.maya=70/100
If, on the other hand, say 50 is being used on the farm, and 30 outside, then "qbadmin s -resource" will display:
license.maya=60/100
That's because the "outside" count has gone over its "reserved" amount of 20, and 10 bleed into the farm allocation.
