LSF Version 7.3 - Using Platform LSF HPC

Resource usage defined in the ReservationUsage section overrides the cluster-wide
RESOURCE_RESERVE_PER_SLOT parameter defined in
lsb.params if it also
exists.
Begin ReservationUsage
RESOURCE METHOD
adapter_windows PER_SLOT
ntbl_windows PER_SLOT
csss PER_SLOT
css0 PER_SLOT
End ReservationUsage
To support the MP_ADAPTER_USE and -adapter_use POE job options, you must
enable the LSF exclusive mode for each queue. To enable exclusive mode, edit
lsb.queues and set EXCLUSIVE=Y:
Begin Queue
...
EXCLUSIVE=Y
...
End Queue
If you schedule jobs based on resource management pools, you must configure
rmpools as a static resource in LSF. Resource management pools are collections of SP2
nodes that together contain all available SP2 nodes without any overlap.
For example, to configure 2 resource management pools,
p1 and p2, made up of 6 SP2
nodes (
sp2n1, sp2n1, sp2n3, ..., sp2n6):
Edit lsf.shared and add an external resource called pool. For example:
Begin Resource
RESOURCENAME TYPE INTERVAL INCREASING DESCRIPTION
...
pool Numeric () () (sp2 resource mgmt
pool)
lock
Numeric 60 Y (IBM SP Node lock status)
...
End Resource
pool represents the resource management pool the node is in, and and lock
indicates whether the switch is locked.
Edit lsf.cluster.
cluster_name
and allocate the pool resource. For
example:
Begin ResourceMap
RESOURCENAME LOCATION
...
pool (p1@[sp2n1 sp2n2 sp2n3] p2@[sp2n4 sp2n5
sp2n6])
...
End ResourceMap
Edit lsb.queues and a threshold for the lock index in the hpc_ibm queue:
