LSF_RESOURCES
Syntax LSF_RESOURCES=dynamic_shared_resource_name...
Description
Space-separated list of customized dynamic shared resources that the ELIM is
responsible for collecting.
Valid values
A resource name is only put in the list if the host on which the ELIM is running shares
an instance of that resource.
Notes
LIM communicates with the ELIM through two environment variables: LSF_MASTER
and LSF_RESOURCES.
LSF_MASTER is set to
Y when LIM starts ELIM on the master host. It is set to N or
is undefined otherwise.
LSF_RESOURCES is set to a space-separated string of dynamic shared resources for
which the ELIM on that host is responsible for collecting. LSF_RESOURCES gets
passed to ELIM from LIM.
When defined
By LIM when ELIM is invoked
Example LSF_RESOURCES="resource1 resource2 resource3"

LSF_USE_HOSTEQUIV
Syntax LSF_USE_HOSTEQUIV=y | Y
Description
Used for authentication purposes. If LSF_USE_HOSTEQUIV is defined, RES and
mbatchd call the ruserok(3) function to decide if a user is allowed to run remote jobs.
LSF trusts all hosts configured in the LSF cluster that are defined in
hosts.equiv, or
in
.rhosts in the user’s home directory.
The
ruserok(3) function checks in the /etc/hosts.equiv file and the user’s
$HOME/.rhosts file to decide if the user has permission to execute remote jobs.
If LSF_USE_HOSTEQUIV is not defined, all normal users in the cluster can execute
remote jobs on any host.
If LSF_ROOT_REX is set, root can also execute remote jobs with the same permission
test as for normal users.
Default
Undefined
