LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

Servers
MultiCluster only. List of hosts in this cluster that LIMs in remote clusters can connect to and
obtain information from.
For other clusters to work with this cluster, one of these hosts must be running mbatchd.
HostType section
(Required) Lists the valid host types in the cluster. All hosts that can run the same binary
executable are in the same host type.
Caution:
If you remove NTX86, NTX64, or NTIA64 from the HostType
section, the functionality of lspasswd.exe is affected. The
lspasswd command registers a password for a Windows user
account.
HostType section structure
The first line consists of the mandatory keyword TYPENAME.
Subsequent lines name valid host types.
Example HostType section
Begin HostType
TYPENAME
SOL64
SOLSPARC
LINUX86LINUXPPC
LINUX64
NTX86
NTX64
NTIA64
End HostType
TYPENAME
Host type names are usually based on a combination of the hardware name and operating
system. If your site already has a system for naming host types, you can use the same names
for LSF.
HostModel section
(Required) Lists models of machines and gives the relative CPU scaling factor for each model.
All hosts of the same relative speed are assigned the same host model.
LSF uses the relative CPU scaling factor to normalize the CPU load indices so that jobs are
more likely to be sent to faster hosts. The CPU factor affects the calculation of job execution
time limits and accounting. Using large or inaccurate values for the CPU factor can cause
confusing results when CPU time limits or accounting are used.
HostModel section structure
The first line consists of the mandatory keywords MODELNAME, CPUFACTOR, and
ARCHITECTURE.
Subsequent lines define a model and its CPU factor.
