LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

Description
Specifies command-line arguments required by an elim executable on startup. Used only
when the external load indices feature is enabled.
Default
Undefined
EXINTERVAL
Syntax
EXINTERVAL=time_in_seconds
Description
Time interval, in seconds, at which the LIM daemons exchange load information
On extremely busy hosts or networks, or in clusters with a large number of hosts, load may
interfere with the periodic communication between LIM daemons. Setting EXINTERVAL to
a longer interval can reduce network load and slightly improve reliability, at the cost of slower
reaction to dynamic load changes.
Note that if you define the time interval as less than 5 seconds, LSF automatically resets it to
5 seconds.
Default
15 seconds
FLOAT_CLIENTS
Syntax
FLOAT_CLIENTS=number_of_floating_client_licenses
Description
Sets the size of your license pool in the cluster
When the master LIM starts, up to number_of_floating_client_licenses will be checked out for
use as floating client licenses. If fewer licenses are available than specified by
number_of_floating_client_licenses, only the available licenses will be checked out and used.
If FLOAT_CLIENTS is not specified in lsf.cluster.cluster_name or there is an error in
either license.dat or in lsf.cluster.cluster_name, the floating LSF client license feature
is disabled.
Caution:
When the LSF floating client feature is enabled, any host can
submit jobs to the cluster. You can limit which hosts can be LSF
floating clients with the parameter
FLOAT_CLIENTS_ADDR_RANGE in lsf.cluster.cluster_name.
