Example of partial licensing
Here is an example that will allow you to better visualize the concept of partial licensing.
Through this example, you can learn how to configure your hosts to use partial licensing.
Scenario
In the following configuration, the license file contains licenses for LSF, Platform Make
and Platform LSF MultiCluster. The licenses have the following distribution:
◆ 3 LSF
◆ 1 Platform Make
◆ 1 Platform MultiCluster
All three single-CPU hosts in the cluster are licensed for LSF, while
hostA and hostC
are licensed for Platform Make. The
hostB is explicitly licensed for Platform
MultiCluster, and not for Platform Make. The
RESOURCES field in the Host section of
lsf.cluster.cluster_name must contain the LSF products LSF_Base and
LSF_Manager, in addition to LSF_Multicluster. The rest of the licenses needed
are enabled by
Configuration
The lsf.cluster.cluster_name file contains the following configuration:
Begin Parameters
PRODUCTS= LSF_Base LSF_Manager LSF_Sched_Fairshare LSF_Sched_Parallel
LSF_Sched_Preemption LSF_Sched_Resource_Reservation LSF_Make
End Parameters

hostB DEFAULT SUNSOL 1 - () () (LSF_Base LSF_Manager

hostC DEFAULT SUNSOL 1 - () () ()
End Host
Cluster startup
At cluster startup, all hosts are running, and the lshosts -l command displays the
following license distribution:
