LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

Description
Shared resource to export. This resource must be available on the hosts that are exported to
the specified clusters; you cannot export resources without hosts.
NINSTANCES
Syntax
NINSTANCES=integer
Description
Maximum quantity of shared resource to export. If the total number available is less than the
requested amount, LSF exports all that are available.
DISTRIBUTION
Syntax
DISTRIBUTION=([cluster_name, number_shares]...)
Description
Specifies how the exported resources are distributed among consumer clusters.
The syntax for the distribution list is a series of share assignments. The syntax of each share
assignment is the cluster name, a comma, and the number of shares, all enclosed in square
brackets, as shown. Use a space to separate multiple share assignments. Enclose the full
distribution list in a set of round brackets.
cluster_name
Specify the name of a cluster allowed to use the exported resources.
number_shares
Specify a positive integer representing the number of shares of exported resources assigned to
the cluster.
The number of shares assigned to a cluster is only meaningful when you compare it to the
number assigned to other clusters, or to the total number. The total number of shares is the
sum of all the shares assigned in each share assignment.
ResourceReservation section
By default, only LSF administrators or root can add or delete advance reservations.
The ResourceReservation section defines an advance reservation policy. It specifies:
•
Users or user groups that can create reservations
•
Hosts that can be used for the reservation
•
Time window when reservations can be created
Each advance reservation policy is defined in a separate ResourceReservation section, so it is
normal to have multiple ResourceReservation sections in lsb.resources.
