3 Submit a command from a host not listed in lsf.cluster.cluster_name.
For example, if you submitted the following job from
hostC:
% bsub sleep 1000
You would get the following response:
Job <104> is submitted to default queue <normal>.
4 From any LSF host, with LSF_ENVDIR set to this cluster, enter the lshosts
command:
% lshosts
HOST_NAME type model cpuf ncpus maxmem maxswp server RESOURCES
hostA SUNSOL DEFAULT 1.0 1 128M 602M Yes ()
hostB SUNSOL DEFAULT 1.0 - - - No ()
hostC UNKNOWN UNKNOWN 1.0 - - - No ()
In the above example, although hostC shows the type UNKNOWN and hostA and
hostB are of type SUNSOL (Sun Solaris), the job will be allowed to be executed on
any host type because
hostC is a floating client host without any model or type
restrictions specified at job submission.
5 From any host, enter the command:
% lshosts -l hostC
where hostC is a floating client host.
HOST_NAME: hostC
type model cpuf ncpus ndisks maxmem maxswp maxtmp rexpri server
UNKNOWN UNKNOWN 1.0 - - - - - - No
RESOURCES: Not defined
RUN_WINDOWS: Not applicable for client-only host
