LSF Version 7.3 - Using Platform LSF HPC

During installation and upgrade, lsfinstall defines the cpuset Boolean resource in
lsf.shared:
Begin Resource
RESOURCENAME TYPE INTERVAL INCREASING DESCRIPTION
...
cpuset Boolean () () (cpuset host)
...
End Resource
lsf.cluster. cluster_name
For each cpuset host, hostsetup adds the cpuset Boolean resource to the HOST
section of
lsf.cluster. cluster_name .
See the Platform LSF Configuration Guide for information about the lsb.modules,
lsf.conf, lsf.shared, and lsf.cluster. cluster_name files.
Optional configuration
◆ In some pre-defined LSF queues, such as normal, the default MEMLIMIT is set
to 5000 (5 MB). However, if ULDB is enabled (LSF_ULDB_DOMAIN is defined),
the MEMLIMIT should be set greater than 8000.
◆ MANDATORY_EXTSCHED=CPUSET[cpuset_options]
Sets required cpuset properties for the queue. MANDATORY_EXTSCHED
options override
-extsched options used at job submission.
◆ DEFAULT_EXTSCHED=CPUSET[cpuset_options]
Sets default cpuset properties for the queue if the
-extsched option is not used
at job submission.
-extsched options override the options set in
DEFAULT_EXTSCHED.
See “Specifying cpuset properties for jobs” on page 136 for more information
about external scheduler options for setting cpuset properties.
◆ LSB_RLA_UPDATE=seconds
Specifies how often the LSF scheduler refreshes cpuset information from RLA.
The default is 600 seconds.
◆ LSB_RLA_WORKDIR=directory parameter, where directory is the location of the
status files for RLA. Allows RLA to recover its original state when it restarts. When
RLA first starts, it creates the directory defined by LSB_RLA_WORKDIR if it does
not exist, then creates subdirectories for each host.
You should avoid using
/tmp or any other directory that is automatically cleaned up
by the system. Unless your installation has restrictions on the LSB_SHAREDIR
directory, you should use the default:
LSB_SHAREDIR/ cluster_name /rla_workdir
