LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

lsf.shared
The lsf.shared file contains common definitions that are shared by all load sharing clusters defined by
lsf.cluster.cluster_name files. This includes lists of cluster names, host types, host models, the special resources
available, and external load indices, including indices required to submit jobs using JSDL files.
This file is installed by default in the directory defined by LSF_CONFDIR.
Changing lsf.shared configuration
After making any changes to lsf.shared, run the following commands:
•
lsadmin reconfig to reconfigure LIM
•
badmin mbdrestart to restart mbatchd
Contents
•
Cluster section
•
HostType section
•
HostModel section
•
Resource section
Cluster section
(Required) Lists the cluster names recognized by the LSF system
Cluster section structure
The first line must contain the mandatory keyword ClusterName. The other keyword is
optional.
The first line must contain the mandatory keyword ClusterName and the keyword Servers in
a MultiCluster environment.
Each subsequent line defines one cluster.
Example Cluster section
Begin Cluster
ClusterName Servers
cluster1 hostA
cluster2 hostB
End Cluster
ClusterName
Defines all cluster names recognized by the LSF system.
All cluster names referenced anywhere in the LSF system must be defined here. The file names
of cluster-specific configuration files must end with the associated cluster name.
By default, if MultiCluster is installed, all clusters listed in this section participate in the same
MultiCluster environment. However, individual clusters can restrict their MultiCluster
participation by specifying a subset of clusters at the cluster level
(lsf.cluster.cluster_name RemoteClusters section).
