LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

Configuration to enable LSF daemon startup control
Startup by users other than root (UNIX-only)
The LSF daemon startup control feature is enabled for UNIX hosts by defining the
LSF_STARTUP_USERS and LSF_STARTUP_PATH parameters in the lsf.sudoers file.
Permissions for lsf.sudoers must be set to 600. For Windows hosts, this feature is already
enabled at installation when the Platform services admin group is defined.
Configuration
file
Parameter and syntax Default behavior
lsf.sudoers
LSF_STARTUP_USERS=all_admins
•
Enables LSF daemon startup by users
other than root when
LSF_STARTUP_PATH is also
defined.
•
Allows all UNIX users defined as LSF
administrators in the file
lsf.cluster.cluster_name to
start LSF daemons as root by running
the lsadmin and badmin
commands.
•
Not recommended due to the security
risk of a non-root LSF administrator
adding to the list of administrators in
the lsf.cluster.cluster_name
file.
•
Not required for Windows hosts
because all users with membership in
the Platform services admin group can
start LSF daemons.
LSF_STARTUP_USERS="user_name1 user_name2
…"
LSF_STARTUP_USERS=user_name
•
Enables LSF daemon startup by users
other than root when
LSF_STARTUP_PATH is also
defined.
•
Allows the specified user accounts to
start LSF daemons as root by running
the lsadmin and badmin
commands.
•
Specify only cluster administrator
accounts; if you add a non-
administrative user, the user can start
—but not shut down—LSF daemons.
•
Separate multiple user names with a
space.
•
For a single user, do not use quotation
marks.
