Reconfiguring Your Cluster
After changing LSF configuration files, you must tell LSF to reread the files to update
the configuration. Use the following commands to reconfigure a cluster are:
◆ lsadmin reconfig
◆ badmin reconfig
◆ badmin mbdrestart
The reconfiguration commands you use depend on which files you change in LSF. The
following table is a quick reference.
Reconfiguring the cluster with lsadmin and badmin
1 Log on to the host as root or the LSF administrator.
2 Run lsadmin reconfig to reconfigure LIM:
% lsadmin reconfig
Checking configuration files ...
No errors found.
Do you really want to restart LIMs on all hosts? [y/n] y
Restart LIM on <hosta> ...... done
Restart LIM on <hostc> ...... done
Restart LIM on <hostd> ...... done
The lsadmin reconfig command checks for configuration errors.
If no errors are found, you are asked to confirm that you want to restart
lim on all
hosts and
lim is reconfigured. If fatal errors are found, reconfiguration is aborted.
