72 Administering Platform LSF
4 Run badmin mbdrestart to restart mbatchd.
5 Run
hostsetup to set up the new host and configure the daemons to start
automatically at boot from
/usr/share/lsf/7.0/install:
./hostsetup --top="/usr/share/lsf" --boot="y"
6 Start LSF on the new host:
lsadmin limstartup
lsadmin resstartup
badmin hstartup
7 Run bhosts and lshosts to verify your changes.
◆ If any host type or host model is UNKNOWN, follow the steps in
UNKNOWN host type or model on page 709 to fix the problem.
◆ If any host type or host model is DEFAULT, follow the steps in DEFAULT
host type or model on page 709 to fix the problem.
Add a host of a new type using lsfinstall
RESTRICTION: lsfinstall is not compatible with clusters installed with lsfsetup. To add a host to a
cluster originally installed with lsfsetup, you must upgrade your cluster.
1 Verify that the host type does not already exist in your cluster:
a Log on to any host in the cluster. You do not need to be root.
b List the contents of the LSF_TOP/7.0 directory. The default is
/usr/share/lsf/7.0. If the host type currently exists, there will be a
subdirectory with the name of the host type. If the host type already exists,
go to Add a host of an existing type using lsfinstall on page 71.
2 Get the LSF distribution tar file for the host type you want to add.
3 Log on as root to any host that can access the LSF install directory.
4 Change to the LSF install directory. The default is
/usr/share/lsf/7.0/install
5 Edit install.config:
a For LSF_TARDIR, specify the path to the tar file. For example:
LSF_TARDIR="/usr/share/lsf_distrib/7.0"
b For LSF_ADD_SERVERS, list the new host names enclosed in quotes and
separated by spaces. For example:
LSF_ADD_SERVERS="hosta hostb"
c Run ./lsfinstall -f install.config. This automatically creates the
host information in
lsf.cluster.cluster_name.
6 Run
lsadmin reconfig to reconfigure LIM.
7 Run
badmin reconfig to reconfigure mbatchd.
