LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

nd
Description
Number of local disks
This corresponds to the ndisks static resource. On most host types, LSF automatically
determines the number of disks, and the nd parameter is ignored.
nd should only count local disks with file systems on them. Do not count either disks used
only for swapping or disks mounted with NFS.
Default
The number of disks determined by the LIM, or 1 if the LIM cannot determine this
RESOURCES
Description
The static Boolean resources and static or dynamic numeric and string resources available on
this host.
The resource names are strings defined in the Resource section of lsf.shared. You may list
any number of resources, enclosed in parentheses and separated by blanks or tabs. For
example:
(fs frame hpux)
Optionally, you can specify an exclusive resource by prefixing the resource with an exclamation
mark (!). For example, resource bigmem is defined in lsf.shared, and is defined as an
exclusive resource for hostE:
Begin Host
HOSTNAME model type server r1m pg tmp RESOURCES RUNWINDOW
...
hostE ! ! 1 2.0 10 0 (linux !bigmem) ()
...
End Host
You must explicitly specify the exclusive resources in the resource requirements for the job to
select a host with an exclusive resource for a job. For example:
bsub -R "bigmem" myjob
or
bsub -R "defined(bigmem)" myjob
You can specify static and dynamic numeric and string resources in the resource column of
the Host clause. For example:
Begin Host
HOSTNAME model type server r1m mem swp RESOURCES #Keywords
hostA ! ! 1 3.5 () () (mg elimres patchrev=3 owner=user1)
hostB ! ! 1 3.5 () () (specman=5 switch=1 owner=test)
hostC ! ! 1 3.5 () () (switch=2 rack=rack2_2_3 owner=test)
hostD ! ! 1 3.5 () () (switch=1 rack=rack2_2_3 owner=test)
End Host
