ClusterName

All cluster names referenced anywhere in the LSF system must be defined here. The file
names of cluster-specific configuration files must end with the associated cluster name.
By default, if MultiCluster is installed, all clusters listed in this section participate in the
same MultiCluster environment. However, individual clusters can restrict their
MultiCluster participation by specifying a subset of clusters at the cluster level
(
lsf.cluster.cluster_name RemoteClusters section).
Servers
MultiCluster only. List of hosts in this cluster that LIMs in remote clusters can connect
to and obtain information from.
For other clusters to work with this cluster, one of these hosts must be running
mbatchd.
