The queue names are in the header line of the file. The columns correspond to the
allocations per each queue.
Default
Not defined
LSF_DYNAMIC_HOST_WAIT_TIME
Syntax
LSF_DYNAMIC_HOST_WAIT_TIME=
time_seconds
Description
Defines the period of time from startup for dynamic slave LIMs (hosts) to wait for an
acknowledgement from the master LIM. This signals to the dynamic host that it is
already in the cluster and therefore does not need to be added. If it does not receive this
acknowledgement, the dynamic host sends a request to the master LIM to add it to the
cluster.
To enable dynamically added hosts, you must define both
LSF_DYNAMIC_HOST_WAIT_TIME in lsf.conf, and LSF_HOST_ADDR_RANGE in
lsf.cluster.cluster_name.
Recommended
value
Up to 60 seconds for every 1000 hosts in the cluster, for a maximum of 15 minutes.
Selecting a smaller value will result in a quicker response time for new hosts at the
expense of an increased load on the master LIM.
Example LSF_DYNAMIC_HOST_WAIT_TIME=60
Hosts will wait 60 seconds from startup to receive an acknowledgement from the master
LIM. If it does not receive the acknowledgement within the 60 seconds, it will send a
request for the master LIM to add it to the cluster.
Default
INFINIT_INT (the host will never send a request to the master LIM)
LSF_ENABLE_CSA
Syntax
LSF_ENABLE_CSA=y
| Y
Description
If set, enables LSF to write records for LSF jobs to IRIX 6.5.9 Comprehensive System
Accounting facility (CSA).
The IRIX 6.5.9 Comprehensive System Accounting facility (CSA) writes an accounting
record for each process in the
pacct file, which is usually located in the
/var/adm/acct/day directory. IRIX system administrators then use the csabuild
command to organize and present the records on a job by job basis.
When LSF_ENABLE_CSA is set, for each job run on the IRIX system, LSF writes an
LSF-specific accounting record to CSA when the job starts, and when the job finishes.
LSF daemon accounting in CSA starts and stops with the LSF daemon.
To disable IRIX CSA accounting, remove LSF_ENABLE_CSA from
lsf.conf.
