LSF Version 7.3 - Using Platform LSF HPC

rms
lsb.params
Use the bqueues -l command to view the queue configuration details. Before using
LSF, see the Platform LSF Configuration Guide to understand queue configuration
parameters in
lsb.queues.
During installation, lsfinstall sets the following parameters in lsf.conf:
◆ LSF_ENABLE_EXTSCHEDULER=Y
LSF uses an external scheduler for RMS allocation.
◆ LSB_RLA_PORT=port_number
Where port_number is the TCP port used for communication between the LSF
topology adapter (RLA) and
sbatchd.
The default port number is 6883.
◆ LSB_SHORT_HOSTLIST=1
Displays an abbreviated list of hosts in
bjobs and bhist for a parallel job where
multiple processes of a job are running on a host. Multiple processes are displayed
in the following format:
processes *hostA
During installation, the Boolean resource rms is defined in lsf.shared:
Begin Resource
RESOURCENAME TYPE INTERVAL INCREASING DESCRIPTION
...
rms Boolean () () (RMS)
...
End Resource
lsf.cluster. cluster_name
For each RMS host, hostsetup adds the rms Boolean resource to the HOST section
of
lsf.cluster. cluster_name .
Setting dedicated LSF partitions (recommended)
You should use the RMS rcontrol command to prevent prun jobs from running
directly on partitions dedicated to LSF.
# rcontrol set partition=parallel configuration=day type=batch
See the RMS rcontrol command in the RMS Reference Manual for complete syntax
and usage.
