LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

Description
Specifies the hosts in the partition, in a space-separated list.
A host cannot belong to multiple partitions.
A host group cannot be empty.
Hosts that are not included in any host partition are controlled by the FCFS scheduling policy
instead of the fairshare scheduling policy.
Optionally, use the reserved host name all to configure a single partition that applies to all
hosts in a cluster.
Optionally, use the not operator (~) to exclude hosts or host groups from the list of hosts in
the host partition.
Examples
HOSTS=all ~hostK ~hostM
The partition includes all the hosts in the cluster, except for hostK and hostM.
HOSTS=groupA ~hostL
The partition includes all the hosts in host group groupA except for hostL.
USER_SHARES
Syntax
USER_SHARES=[user, number_shares]...
Description
Specifies user share assignments
•
Specify at least one user share assignment.
•
Enclose each user share assignment in square brackets, as shown.
•
Separate a list of multiple share assignments with a space between the square brackets.
•
user—Specify users who are also configured to use the host partition. You can assign the
shares:
•
To a single user (specify user_name). To specify a Windows user account, include the
domain name in uppercase letters (DOMAIN_NAME\user_name).
•
To users in a group, individually (specify group_name@) or collectively (specify
group_name). To specify a Windows user group, include the domain name in uppercase
letters (DOMAIN_NAME\group_name).
•
To users not included in any other share assignment, individually (specify the keyword
default) or collectively (specify the keyword others).
By default, when resources are assigned collectively to a group, the group members compete
for the resources according to FCFS scheduling. You can use hierarchical fairshare to further
divide the shares among the group members.
When resources are assigned to members of a group individually, the share assignment is
recursive. Members of the group and of all subgroups always compete for the resources
according to FCFS scheduling, regardless of hierarchical fairshare policies.
