Working with Hosts
❖
❖
If any host type or host model is UNKNOWN, follow the steps in
“UNKNOWN host type or model” on page 532 to fix the problem.
If any host type or host model is DEFAULT, follow the steps in
“DEFAULT host type or model” on page 532 to fix the problem.
Adding a host of a new type using lsfinstall
Compatibility
Notice
lsfinstall is not compatible with clusters installed with lsfsetup. To add a
host to a cluster originally installed with lsfsetup, you must upgrade your
cluster.
1 Verify that the host type does not already exist in your cluster:
a Log on to any host in the cluster. You do not need to be root.
b List the contents of the LSF_TOP/6.0 directory. The default is
/usr/share/lsf/6.0. If the host type currently exists, there will be a
subdirectory with the name of the host type. If the host type already
exists, go to “Adding a host of an existing type using lsfinstall” on
page 76.
2 Get the LSF distribution tar file for the host type you want to add.
3 Log on as root to any host that can access the LSF install directory.
4 Change to the LSF install directory. The default is
/usr/share/lsf/6.0/install
5 Edit install.config:
a For LSF_TARDIR, specify the path to the tar file. For example:
LSF_TARDIR="/usr/share/lsf_distrib/6.0"
b For LSF_ADD_SERVERS, list the new host names enclosed in quotes
and separated by spaces. For example:
LSF_ADD_SERVERS="hosta hostb"
c Run ./lsfinstall -f install.config. This automatically creates
the host information in lsf.cluster.cluster_name.
6 Run lsadmin reconfig to reconfigure LIM.
7 Run badmin reconfig to reconfigure mbatchd.
8 Run hostsetup to set up the new host and configure the daemons to start
automatically at boot from /usr/share/lsf/6.0/install:
# ./hostsetup --top="/usr/share/lsf" --boot="y"
9 Start LSF on the new host:
# lsadmin limstartup
# lsadmin resstartup
# badmin hstartup
10 Run bhosts and lshosts to verify your changes.
