◆ Type square brackets around the list of hosts, as shown. You can omit the
parenthesis if you only specify one set of hosts.
◆ Each set of hosts within square brackets specifies an instance of the resource. The
same host cannot be in more than one instance of a resource. All hosts within the
instance share the quantity of the resource indicated by its value.
◆ The keyword all refers to all the server hosts in the cluster, collectively. Use the
not operator (~) to exclude hosts or host groups.
◆ The keyword others refers to all hosts not otherwise listed in the instance.
◆ The keyword default refers to each host in the cluster, individually.
Non-batch configuration
The following items should be taken into consideration when configuring resources.
◆ In lsf.cluster.cluster_name, the Host section must precede the
ResourceMap section, since the ResourceMap section uses the host names
defined in the
Host section.
◆ Use the RESOURCES column in the Host section of the
lsf.cluster.cluster_name file to associate static Boolean resources with
particular hosts.
◆ Most resources specified in the ResourceMap section are interpreted by LSF
commands as shared resources, which are displayed using
lsload -s or
lshosts -s. The exceptions are:
❖ Non-shared static resources
❖ Dynamic numeric resources specified using the default keyword. These are
host-based resources and behave like the built-in load indices such as
mem and
swp. They are viewed using lsload -l or lsload -I.
