lsf.datamanager

The lsf.datamanager file controls the operation of IBM® Spectrum LSF Data Manager features. Each cluster has one LSF data management configuration file, called lsf.datamanager.cluster_name. The cluster_name suffix is the name of the cluster that is defined in the Cluster section of the lsf.shared file. The file is read by the LSF data management daemon dmd. Since one LSF data manager can serve multiple LSF clusters, the contents of this file must be identical on each cluster that shares LSF data manager.

Changing lsf.datamanager configuration

After you change lsf.datamanager.cluster_name, run the bdata admin reconfig command to reconfigure LSF data manager on all candidate hosts.

Location

The lsf.datamanager file is located in the directory that is defined by the LSF_ENVDIR parameter.

Structure

The lsf.datamanager.cluster_name file contains two configuration sections:
Parameters section
The Parameters section of the lsf.datamanager file configures LSF data manager operations.
RemoteDataManagers section
Optional. The RemoteDataManagers section tells a local LSF data manager how to communicate with remote LSF data managers in LSF multicluster capability forwarding clusters. Only the cluster that is sending jobs needs to configure the RemoteDataManagers section.
