About Configured Resources
LSF schedules jobs based on available resources. There are many resources built
into LSF, but you can also add your own resources, and then use them same way as
built-in resources.
For maximum flexibility, you should characterize your resources clearly enough so
that users have satisfactory choices. For example, if some of your machines are
connected to both Ethernet and FDDI, while others are only connected to Ethernet,
then you probably want to define a resource called
fddi and associate the fddi
resource with machines connected to FDDI. This way, users can specify resource
fddi if they want their jobs to run on machines connected to FDDI.
