Changing Default LIM Behavior to Improve Performance<br />

Reconfiguration and <strong>LSF</strong>_MASTER_LIST<br />

If you change <strong>LSF</strong>_MASTER_LIST<br />

Whenever you change the parameter <strong>LSF</strong>_MASTER_LIST, reconfigure the<br />

cluster with lsadmin reconfig and badmin mbdrestart.<br />

If you change lsf.cluster.cluster_name or lsf.shared<br />

If you make changes that do not affect load report messages such as adding or<br />

removing slave-only hosts, you only need to restart the LIMs on all master<br />

candidates with the command lsadmin limrestart and the specific host<br />

names. For example:<br />

% lsadmin limrestart hostA hostB hostC<br />

If you make changes that affect load report messages such as load indices, you<br />

need to restart all the LIMs in the cluster. Use the command lsadmin<br />

reconfig.<br />

How <strong>LSF</strong> works with <strong>LSF</strong>_MASTER_LIST<br />

<strong>LSF</strong>_MASTER_LIST undefined<br />

In this example, lsf.shared and lsf.cluster.cluster_name are shared<br />

among all LIMs through an NFS file server. The preferred master host is the first<br />

available server host in the cluster list in lsf.cluster.cluster_name.<br />

Any slave LIM can become the master LIM. Whenever you reconfigure, all LIMs<br />

read lsf.shared and lsf.cluster.cluster_name to get updated<br />

information.<br />

For this example, slave LIMs read local lsf.conf files.<br />

lsf.shared lsf.cluster.cluster_name<br />

HostB<br />

HostC<br />

HostH<br />

<strong>LSF</strong>_MASTER_LIST defined<br />

The files lsf.shared and lsf.cluster.cluster_name are shared only<br />

among LIMs listed as candidates to be elected master with the parameter<br />

<strong>LSF</strong>_MASTER_LIST.<br />

The preferred master host is no longer the first host in the cluster list in<br />

lsf.cluster.cluster_name, but the first host in the list specified by<br />

<strong>LSF</strong>_MASTER_LIST in lsf.conf.<br />
