Parameters Section
(Optional) This section contains miscellaneous parameters for the LIM.
ADJUST_DURATION
Syntax
ADJUST_DURATION=
integer
Description
Integer reflecting a multiple of EXINTERVAL that controls the time period during
which load adjustment is in effect
The
lsplace(1) and lsloadadj(1) commands artificially raise the load on a selected
host. This increase in load decays linearly to 0 over time.
Default
3
ELIM_POLL_INTERVAL
Syntax
ELIM_POLL_INTERVAL=
time_in_seconds
Description
Time interval, in seconds, in which the LIM daemon samples load information
This parameter only needs to be set if an ELIM is being used to report information more
frequently than every 5 seconds.
Default
5 seconds
ELIMARGS
Syntax
ELIMARGS=
cmd_line_args
Description
Specifies any necessary command-line arguments for the external LIM on startup
This parameter is ignored if no external load indices are configured.
Default
None
EXINTERVAL
Syntax
EXINTERVAL=
time_in_seconds
Description
Time interval, in seconds, at which the LIM daemons exchange load information
On extremely busy hosts or networks, or in clusters with a large number of hosts, load
may interfere with the periodic communication between LIM daemons. Setting
EXINTERVAL to a longer interval can reduce network load and slightly improve
reliability, at the cost of slower reaction to dynamic load changes.
Note that if you define the time interval as less than 5 seconds, LSF automatically resets
it to 5 seconds.
Default
15 seconds
FLOAT_CLIENTS
Syntax
FLOAT_CLIENTS=
number_of_floating_client_licenses
Description
Sets the size of your license pool in the cluster
