About lsf.cluster
This is the cluster configuration file. There is one for each cluster, called
lsf.cluster.cluster_name. The cluster_name suffix is the name of the cluster

lsf.shared. All LSF hosts are listed in this file, along
with the list of LSF administrators and the installed LSF features.

Defines load sharing and job placement policies provided by LIM.
