Administering Platform LSF - SAS

Adding and Removing Hosts Dynamically
Adding dynamic hosts in a non-shared file system (slave hosts)
If each dynamic slave host has its own LSF binaries and local lsf.conf and
shell environment scripts (cshrc.lsf and profile.lsf), you must install LSF
on each slave host.
1 Specify installation options in the slave.config file.
The following parameters are required:
❖ LSF_SERVER_HOSTS="host_name [host_name ...]"
❖ LSF_TARDIR="/path"
❖ LSF_TOP="/path"
The following parameters are optional:
❖ LSF_LIM_PORT=port_number
If the master host does not use the default LSF_LIM_PORT, you must
specify the same LSF_LIM_PORT defined in lsf.conf on the master
host.
❖ LSF_LOCAL_RESOURCES=resource ...
Defines the local resources for a dynamic host.
✧ For numeric resources, defined name-value pairs:
[resourcemap value*resource_name]
✧
For Boolean resources, the value will be the resource name in the
form:
[resource resource_name]
For example:
LSF_LOCAL_RESOURCES=[resourcemap 1*verilog] [resource
linux]
If LSF_LOCAL_RESOURCES are already defined in a local lsf.conf on the slave
host, lsfinstall does not add resources you define in LSF_LOCAL_RESOURCES
in slave.config.
2 Use lsfinstall -s -f slave.config to install a dynamic slave host.
lsfinstall creates a local lsf.conf for the slave host, which sets the
following parameters:
❖ LSF_CONFDIR="/path"
❖ LSF_GET_CONF=lim
❖ LSF_LIM_PORT=port_number (same as the Master LIM port number)
❖ LSF_LOCAL_RESOURCES=resource ...
❖ LSF_SERVER_HOSTS="host_name [host_name ...]"
❖ LSF_VERSION=6.0
3 Use one of the following to set the LSF environment:
❖ For csh or tcsh:
% source LSF_TOP/conf/cshrc.lsf
❖
For sh, ksh, or bash:
$ . LSF_TOP/conf/profile.lsf
