LSF Version 7.3 - Administering Platform LSF

Adding Hosts Dynamically
78 Administering Platform LSF
❖ For csh or tcsh:
source LSF_TOP/conf/cshrc.lsf
❖ For sh, ksh, or bash:
. LSF_TOP/conf/profile.lsf
6 Do you want LSF to start automatically when the host reboots?
❖ If no, go to step 7.
❖ If yes, run the hostsetup command. For example:
cd /usr/share/lsf/7.0/install
./hostsetup --top="/usr/share/lsf" --boot="y"
For complete hostsetup usage, enter hostsetup -h.
7 Use the following commands to start LSF:
lsadmin limstartup
lsadmin resstartup
badmin hstartup
Add a dynamic host in a non-shared file system environment
In a non-shared file system environment, you must install LSF binaries, a localized
lsf.conf file, and shell environment scripts (cshrc.lsf and profile.lsf) on
each dynamic host.
Specify installation options in the
slave.config file
All dynamic hosts are slave hosts, because they cannot serve as master host
candidates. The
slave.config file contains parameters for configuring all slave
hosts.
1 Define the required parameters.
LSF_SERVER_HOSTS="host_name [host_name ...]"
LSF_ADMINS="user_name [ user_name ... ]"
LSF_TOP="/path"
2 Define the optional parameters.
LSF_LIM_PORT=port_number
IMPORTANT: If the master host does not use the default LSF_LIM_PORT, you must specify the
same LSF_LIM_PORT defined in lsf.conf on the master host.
