LSF Version 7.3 - Using Platform LSF HPC

Make sure $HOME/.mpd.conf has a permission mode of 600 after you
finish the modification.
Set LSF_START_MPD_RING=N in your job script or in the
environment for all users.
If you want to start an MPD ring on all hosts, follow the steps described in the
MPICH2 documentation to start an MPD ring across all LSF hosts for each
user. The user MPD ring must be running all the time, and you must set
LSF_START_MPD_RING=N in your job script or in the environment for all
users.

Make sure LSF uses system host official names (/etc/hosts): this will prevent
problems when you run the application.
Configure the $LSF_CONFDIRDIR/hosts file and the
$LSF_ENVDIR/lsf.cluster.<clustername> file.
For example:
172.25.238.91 scali scali.lsf.platform.com
172.25.238.96 scali1 scali1.lsf.plaform.com
If the official host name returned to LSF is a short name, but LSF
commands display host names that include domain names, you can use
LSF_STRIP_DOMAIN in lsf.conf to display the short names.
Change the $LSF_BINDIR/mpich2_wrapper script to make sure MPI_TOPDIR=
points to the MPICH2 install directory.
