LSF_SERVER_HOSTS
Syntax
LSF_SERVER_HOSTS="host_name [ host_name ...]"
Description
Required for non-shared slave host installation. This parameter defines a list of hosts that can
provide host and load information to client hosts. If you do not define this parameter, clients
will contact the master LIM for host and load information. List of LSF server hosts in the
cluster to be contacted.
Recommended for large clusters to decrease the load on the master LIM. Do not specify the
master host in the list. Client commands will query the LIMs on the LSF_SERVER_HOSTS,
which off-loads traffic from the master LIM.
Define this parameter to ensure that commands execute successfully when no LIM is running
on the local host, or when the local LIM has just started.
You should include the list of hosts defined in LSF_MASTER_LIST in lsf.conf—specify
the primary master host last. For example:
LSF_MASTER_LIST="lsfmaster hostE"
LSF_SERVER_HOSTS="hostB hostC hostD hostE lsfmaster"
Specify a list of host names two ways:
•
Host names separated by spaces
•
Name of a file containing a list of host names, one host per line.
Valid Values
Any valid LSF host name
Examples
List of host names:
LSF_SERVER_HOSTS="hosta hostb hostc hostd"
Host list file:
LSF_SERVER_HOSTS=:lsf_server_hosts
The file lsf_server_hosts contains a list of hosts:
hosta hostb hostc hostd
Default
None
