LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

Configuration file Parameter and syntax Description
lsf.shared
RESOURCENAME
resource_name
•
Specifies the name of the external resource.
TYPE
Numeric
•
Specifies the type of external resource:
Numeric resources have numeric values.
•
Specify Numeric for all dynamic resources.
INTERVAL
seconds
•
Specifies the interval for data collection by an
elim.
•
For numeric resources, defining an interval
identifies the resource as a dynamic resource
with a corresponding external load index.
Important:
You must specify an interval:
LSF treats a numeric resource
with no interval as a static
resource and, therefore, does
not collect load index values for
that resource.
INCREASING
Y | N
•
Specifies whether a larger value indicates a
greater load.
•
Y—a larger value indicates a greater load.
For example, if you define an external load
index for the number of shared software
licenses in use, the larger the value, the
heavier the load.
•
N—a larger value indicates a lighter load.
For example, if you define an external load
index for the number of shared software
licenses currently available, the larger the
value, the lighter the load, and the more
licenses are available.
RELEASE
Y | N
•
For shared resources only, specifies whether
LSF releases the resource when a job that
uses the resource is suspended.
•
Y—Releases the resource when a job is
suspended.
•
N—Holds the resource when a job is
suspended.

description
•
Brief description of the resource. Enter a
description that enables you to easily identify
the type and purpose of the resource.
