LSF Version 7.3 - Using Platform LSF HPC

Configuring Platform LSF HPC for Linux/QsNet
◆ “Automatic configuration at installation”
◆ “Setting dedicated LSF partitions (recommended)”
◆ “Customizing job control actions (optional)”
◆ “Configuration notes”
Automatic configuration at installation
For the default host, lsfinstall enables "!" in the MXJ column of the HOSTS
section of
lsb.hosts. For example:
Begin Host
HOST_NAME MXJ r1m pg ls tmp DISPATCH_WINDOW # Keywords
#hostA () 3.5/4.5 15/ 12/15 0 () # Example
default ! () () () () ()
End Host
During installation, lsfinstall adds the schmod_rms external scheduler plugin
module name to the PluginModule section of
lsb.modules to enable the RMS
scheduler plugin module:
Begin PluginModule
SCH_PLUGIN RB_PLUGIN SCH_DISABLE_PHASES
schmod_default () ()
schmod_fcfs () ()
schmod_fairshare () ()
schmod_limit () ()
schmod_preemption () ()
...
schmod_rms () ()
End PluginModule
See the Platform LSF Configuration Guide for more information about lsb.modules.
During installation, LSF defines a queue named rms in LSB_CONFDIR/lsb.queues
for RMS jobs running in LSF.
Begin Queue
QUEUE_NAME = rms
PJOB_LIMIT = 1
PRIORITY = 30
NICE = 20
STACKLIMIT = 5256
DEFAULT_EXTSCHED = RMS[RMS_SNODE] # LSF will using this scheduling policy if
# -extsched is not defined.
# MANDATORY_EXTSCHED = RMS[RMS_SNODE] # LSF enforces this scheduling policy
RES_REQ = select[rms==1]
DESCRIPTION = Run RMS jobs only on hosts that have resource 'rms' defined
End Queue
