...
2 Set the following parameters in /etc/csa.conf to on:
❖ CSA_START

◆ Job record type (job start or job exit)
◆ Current system clock time
◆ Service provider (LSF)
◆ Submission time of the job (at job start only)
◆ User ID of the job owner
◆ Array Session Handle (ASH) of the job
◆ IRIX job ID
◆ IRIX project ID
◆ LSF job name if it exists
◆ Submission host name
◆ LSF queue name

LSF_ENABLE_DUALCORE
Syntax
LSF_ENABLE_DUALCORE=y
| n
Description
Enables job scheduling based on dual-core CPU information for a host. If yes (Y), LSF
scheduling policies use the detected number of CPU cores as the number of physical
CPUs on the host instead of the number of physical CPUs for job scheduling. For a dual-
core host, lshosts shows the number of cores under ncpus instead of physical CPUs.
To make use of dual-core CPUs for scheduling, hosts must have the
lsf_dualcore_x86 license feature enabled. Each dual core processor requires one
standard LSF license and one
lsf_dualcore_x86 license. Use lshosts -l to see the
number of dual-core licenses enabled and needed.
Default
N
