2 DEFAULT_HOST_SPEC is configured in lsb.params
3 If DEFAULT_HOST_SPEC is not configured in lsb.queues or lsb.params,
host with the largest CPU factor is used.
CPU time display (bacct, bhist, bqueues)
Normalized CPU time is displayed in the output of bqueues. CPU time is not
normalized in the output if
bacct and bhist.
PAM resource limits
PAM limits are system resource limits defined in limits.conf.
◆ Windows: Not applicable
◆ Linux: /etc/pam.d/lsf
When USE_PAM_CREDS is enabled in lsb.queues or lsb.applications, applies
PAM limits to an application or queue when its job is dispatched to a Linux host
using PAM. The job will fail if the execution host does not have PAM configured.
Configure a PAM file
When USE_PAM_CREDS is enabled in lsb.queues or lsb.applications, the limits
specified in the PAM configuration file are applied to an application or queue when
its job is dispatched to a Linux host using PAM. The job will fail if the execution
host does not have PAM configured.
1 Create a PAM configuration file on each execution host you want.
/etc/pam.d/lsf/limits.conf
2 In the first two lines, specify the authentication and authorization you need to
successfully run PAM limits. For example:
auth required pam_localuser.so
account required pam_unix.so
3 Specify any resource limits. For example:
session required pam_limits.so
On hosts that have a PAM configuration file with resource limits specified and
when
USE_PAM_CREDS=y in lsb.queues or lsb.applications, applies resource
limits on jobs running on the execution host.
For more information about configuring a PAM file, check Linux documentation.
