LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

EQUIV
Description
Specify ‘Y’ to make the remote cluster equivalent to the local cluster. Otherwise, specify ‘N’.
The master LIM considers all equivalent clusters when servicing requests from clients for load,
host, or placement information.
EQUIV changes the default behavior of LSF commands and utilities and causes them to
automatically return load (lsload(1)), host (lshosts(1)), or placement (lsplace(1))
information about the remote cluster as well as the local cluster, even when you don’t specify
a cluster name.
CACHE_INTERVAL
Description
Specify the load information cache threshold, in seconds. The host information threshold is
twice the value of the load information threshold.
To reduce overhead and avoid updating information from remote clusters unnecessarily, LSF
displays information in the cache, unless the information in the cache is older than the
threshold value.
Default
60 (seconds)
RECV_FROM
Description
Specifies whether the local cluster accepts parallel jobs that originate in a remote cluster
RECV_FROM does not affect regular or interactive batch jobs.
Specify ‘Y’ if you want to run parallel jobs across clusters. Otherwise, specify ‘N’.
Default
Y
AUTH
Description
Defines the preferred authentication method for LSF daemons communicating across clusters.
Specify the same method name that is used to identify the corresponding eauth program
(eauth.method_name). If the remote cluster does not prefer the same method, LSF uses default
security between the two clusters.
Default
- (only privileged port (setuid) authentication is used between clusters)
