LSF Version 7.3 - Administering Platform LSF

Configuring Slot Allocation per Queue
312 Administering Platform LSF
b SLOT_POOL
2 Optional: Define the following in
lsb.queues for each queue that uses
queue-based fairshare:
a HOSTS to list the hosts that can receive jobs from the queue
If no hosts are defined for the queue, the default is all hosts.
TIP: Hosts for queue-based fairshare cannot be in a host partition.
b PRIORITY to indicate the priority of the queue.
3 For each host used by the pool, define a maximum job slot limit, either in
lsb.hosts (MXJ) or lsb.resources (HOSTS and SLOTS).
Configure two pools
The following example configures pool A with three queues, with different shares,
using the hosts in host group groupA:
Begin Queue
QUEUE_NAME = queue1
PRIORITY = 50
SLOT_POOL = poolA
SLOT_SHARE = 50
HOSTS = groupA
...
End Queue
Begin Queue
QUEUE_NAME = queue2
PRIORITY = 48
SLOT_POOL = poolA
SLOT_SHARE = 30
HOSTS = groupA
...
End Queue
Begin Queue
QUEUE_NAME = queue3
PRIORITY = 46
SLOT_POOL = poolA
SLOT_SHARE = 20
HOSTS = groupA
...
End Queue
The following configures a pool named poolB, with three queues with equal shares,
using the hosts in host group
groupB:
Begin Queue
QUEUE_NAME = queue4
PRIORITY = 44
SLOT_POOL = poolB
SLOT_SHARE = 30
HOSTS = groupB
...
End Queue
