The scheduling threshold on the lock index prevents dispatching to nodes which
are being used in exclusive mode by other jobs.
If you schedule jobs based on system partition names, you must configure the static
resource
spname. System partitions are collections of HPS nodes that together contain
all available HPS nodes without any overlap. For example, to configure two system
partition names,
spp1 and spp2, made up of 6 SP2 nodes (sp2n1, sp2n1, sp2n3, ...,
sp2n6):
Edit lsf.shared and add an external resource called spname. For example:
Begin Resource
RESOURCENAME TYPE INTERVAL INCREASING DESCRIPTION
...
spname String () () (sp2 sys partition
name)
...
End Resource
Edit lsf.cluster. cluster_name and allocate the spname resource. For
example:
Begin ResourceMap
RESOURCENAME LOCATION
...
spname (spp1@[sp2n1 sp2n3 sp2n5] spp2@[sp2n2 sp2n4
sp2n6])
...
End ResourceMap
If you use a switch adapter, you must define specific resources in LSF. During
installation,
lsfinstall defines the following external resources in lsf.shared:
◆ adapter_windows—number of free adapter windows on IBM SP Switch2
systems
◆ ntbl_windows—number of free network table windows on IBM HPS systems
◆ css0—number of free adapter windows on on css0 on IBM SP Switch2 systems
◆ csss—number of free adapter windows on on csss on IBM SP Switch2 systems
◆ dedicated_tasks—number of of running dedicated tasks
◆ ip_tasks—number of of running IP (Internet Protocol communication
subsystem) tasks
◆ us_tasks—number of of running US (User Space communication subsystem)
tasks
These resources are updated through
elim.hpc.
