LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

•
If the TMPDIR directory was created by the job RES, LSF will delete the temporary
directory and its contents when the job is done
•
If the TMPDIR directory is on a shared file system, it is assumed to be shared by all the
hosts allocated to the blaunch job, so LSF does not remove TMPDIR directories created
by the job RES or task RES
Default
By default, LSF_TMPDIR is not enabled. If LSF_TMPDIR is not specified in lsf.conf, this
parameter is defined as follows:
•
On UNIX: $TMPDIR/job_ID.tmpdir or /tmp/job_ID.tmpdir
•
On Windows: %TMP%, %TEMP, or %SystemRoot%
LSF_ULDB_DOMAIN
Syntax
LSF_ULDB_DOMAIN="domain_name ..."
Description
LSF_ULDB_DOMAIN specifies the name of the LSF domain in the ULDB domain directive.
A domain definition of name domain_name must be configured in the SGI IRIX
jlimit.in input file.
Used with IRIX User Limits Database (ULDB). Configures LSF so that jobs submitted to a
host with the IRIX job limits option installed are subject to the job limits configured in the
IRIX User Limits Database (ULDB).
The ULDB contains job limit information that system administrators use to control access to
a host on a per user basis. The job limits in the ULDB override the system default values for
both job limits and process limits. When a ULDB domain is configured, the limits are enforced
as IRIX job limits.
If the ULDB domain specified in LSF_ULDB_DOMAIN is not valid or does not exist, LSF
uses the limits defined in the domain named batch. If the batch domain does not exist, then
the system default limits are set.
When an LSF job is submitted, an IRIX job is created, and the job limits in the ULDB are
applied.
Next, LSF resource usage limits are enforced for the IRIX job under which the LSF job is
running. LSF limits override the corresponding IRIX job limits. The ULDB limits are used for
any LSF limits that are not defined. If the job reaches the IRIX job limits, the action defined
in the IRIX system is used.
IRIX job limits in the ULDB apply only to batch jobs.
See the IRIX resource administration documentation for information about configuring
ULDB domains in the jlimit.in file.
