Daemon log files
LSF server daemon log files are stored in the directory specified by LSF_LOGDIR in
LSF_CONFDIR/lsf.conf.
Who owns and
who should write
to this directory
Make sure that the primary LSF administrator owns the LSF log directory
(LSF_LOGDIR), and that root can write to this directory. If an LSF server is unable to
write to LSF_LOGDIR, then the error logs are created in /tmp.
For more information
◆ See Administering Platform LSF for information about cluster configuration files
and parameters.
◆ See the Platform LSF Reference for more information about cluster configuration
files and parameters.
Where to go next
Start using your new Platform LSF cluster, described in Chapter 2, “Working with LSF”.
File Example
Server hosts and their attributes, such as
scheduling load thresholds, dispatch
windows, and job slot limits.
If no hosts are defined in this file, then all
LSF server hosts listed in
LSF_CONFDIR/lsf.cluster.cluster_name
are assumed to be LSF Batch server hosts.
/usr/share/lsf/lsf_62/conf/lsbatch/lsf_62/
configdir/lsb.hosts
LSF scheduler and resource broker plugin
modules. If no scheduler or resource broker
modules are configured, LSF uses the
default scheduler plugin module named
schmod_default.
/usr/share/lsf/lsf_62/conf/lsbatch/lsf_62/
configdir/lsb.modules
LSF Batch system parameter file /usr/share/lsf/lsf_62/conf/lsbatch/lsf_62/
configdir/lsb.params
Job queue definitions /usr/share/lsf/lsf_62/conf/lsbatch/lsf_62/
configdir/lsb.queues
Resource allocation limits, exports, and
resource usage limits.
/usr/share/lsf/lsf_62/conf/lsbatch/lsf_62/
configdir/lsb.resources
LSF user groups, hierarchical fairshare for
users and user groups, and job slot limits for
users and user groups.
Also used to configure account mappings in
a MultiCluster environment.
