LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

Map an external resource
Once external resources are defined in lsf.shared, they must be mapped to hosts in the
ResourceMap section of lsf.cluster.cluster_name.
Configuration file Parameter and syntax Default behavior
lsf.cluster.
cluster_name
RESOURCENAMEresource_name
•
Specifies the name of the external resource as
defined in the Resource section of
lsf.shared.
LOCATION
•
([all]) | ([all ~host_name …])
•
Maps the resource to the master host only; all
hosts share a single instance of the dynamic
external resource.
•
To prevent specific hosts from accessing the
resource, use the not operator (~) and specify
one or more host names. All other hosts can
access the resource.
•
[default]
•
Maps the resource to all hosts in the cluster;
every host has an instance of the dynamic
external resource.
•
If you use the default keyword for any external
resource, all elim executables in
LSF_SERVERDIR run on all hosts in the
cluster. For information about how to control
which elim executables run on each host, see
the section How LSF determines which hosts
should run an elim executable.
•
([host_name …]) | ([host_name …]
[host_name …])
•
Maps the resource to one or more specific
hosts.
•
To specify sets of hosts that share a dynamic
external resource, enclose each set in square
brackets ([ ]) and use a space to separate each
host name.
Create an elim executable
You can write one or more elim executables. The load index names defined in your elim
executables must be the same as the external resource names defined in the lsf.shared
configuration file.
All elim executables must
•
Be located in LSF_SERVERDIR and follow these naming conventions:
