Adding New Resources to Your Cluster
To add host resources to your cluster, use the following steps:
1 Log in to any host in the cluster as the LSF administrator.
2 Define new resources in the Resource section of lsf.shared. Specify at least a
name and a brief description, which will be displayed to a user by
lsinfo.
See “Configuring lsf.shared Resource Section” on page 218.
3 For static Boolean resources, for all hosts that have the new resources, add the
resource name to the RESOURCES column in the
Host section of
lsf.cluster.cluster_name.
4 For shared resources, for all hosts that have the new resources, associate the
resources with the hosts (you might also have a reason to configure non-shared
resources in this section).
See “Configuring lsf.cluster.cluster_name ResourceMap Section” on page 219.
5 Reconfigure your cluster.
