LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

Specifies the absolute path name of the directory in which the LSF daemon binary files (lim,
res, sbatchd, and mbatchd) are installed. LSF daemons are usually installed in the path specified
by LSF_SERVERDIR defined in the cshrc.lsf, profile.lsf or lsf.conf files.
Important:
For security reasons, you should move the LSF daemon binary
files to a directory other than LSF_SERVERDIR or LSF_BINDIR.
The user accounts specified by LSF_STARTUP_USERS can
start any binary in the LSF_STARTUP_PATH.
Default
Not defined. Only the root user account can start LSF daemons.
LSF_STARTUP_USERS
Syntax
LSF_STARTUP_USERS=all_admins | "user_name..."
Description
UNIX only. Enables the LSF daemon startup control feature when LSF_STARTUP_PATH is
also defined. Define both parameters when you want to allow users other than root to start
LSF daemons. On Windows, the Platform services admin group is equivalent to
LSF_STARTUP_USERS.
On UNIX hosts, by default only root can start LSF daemons. To manually start LSF daemons,
a user runs the commands lsadmin and badmin, which have been installed as setuid root.
LSF_STARTUP_USERS specifies a list of user accounts that can successfully run the
commands lsadmin and badmin to start LSF daemons.
all_admins
•
Allows all UNIX users defined as LSF administrators in the file
lsf.cluster.cluster_name to start LSF daemons as root by running the
lsadmin and badmin commands.
•
Not recommended due to the security risk of a non-root LSF administrator adding
to the list of administrators in the lsf.cluster.cluster_name file.
•
Not required for Windows hosts because all users with membership in the Platform
services admin group can start LSF daemons.
"user_name..."
•
Allows the specified user accounts to start LSF daemons by running the lsadmin
and badmin commands.
•
Separate multiple user names with a space.
•
For a single user, do not use quotation marks.
Default
Not defined. Only the root user account can start LSF daemons.
