About slave.config
Dynamically added LSF hosts that will not be master candidates are slave hosts. Each
dynamic slave host has its own LSF binaries and local
lsf.conf and shell environment
scripts (
cshrc.lsf and profile.lsf). You must install LSF on each slave host.
The
slave.config file contains options for installing and configuring a slave host
that can be dynamically added or removed.
Use
lsfinstall -s -f slave.config to install LSF using the options specified
in
slave.config.
Template Location
A template slave.config is located in the installation script directory created when
you extract the LSF installation script tar file. Edit the file and uncomment the options
you want in the template file. Replace the example values with your own settings to
specify the options for your new LSF installation.
Important
The sample values in the slave.config template file are examples only. They are not
default installation values.
Format
Each entry in slave.config has the form:
NAME="STRING1 STRING2 ..."
The equal sign = must follow each NAME even if no value follows and there should be
no spaces around the equal sign.
A value that contains multiple strings separated by spaces must be enclosed in quotation
marks.
Blank lines and lines starting with a pound sign (
#) are ignored.
