LSF Version 7.3 - Using Platform LSF HPC

For PAM jobs on Altix, the SGI Array Services daemon arrayd must be running and
AUTHENTICATION must be set to NONE in the SGI array services authentication
file
/usr/lib/array/arrayd.auth (comment out the AUTHENTICATION
NOREMOTE method and uncomment the AUTHENTICATION NONE method).
To run a mulithost MPI applications, you must also enable
rsh without password
prompt between hosts:
◆ The remote host must defined in the arrayd configuration.
◆ Configure .rhosts so that rsh does not require a password.
For more information about SGI Array Services, see “SGI Job Container and Process
Aggregate Support” on page 150.
For more information about PAM jobs, see “SGI Vendor MPI Support” on page 40.
The administrator must use brun -c to force a cpuset job to run. If job is forced to
run on non-cpuset hosts, or if any host in the host list specified with
-m is not a cpuset
host,
-extsched cpuset options are ignored and the job runs with no cpusets allocated.
If the job is forced to run on a cpuset host:
◆ For dynamic cpusets: LSF allocates a dynamic cpuset without any cpuset options
and runs the job inside the dynamic cpuset
◆ For static cpusets: LSF runs the job in static cpuset. If the specific static cpuset does
not exsit, the job is requeued.
