IBM Spectrum LSF cluster management essentials

Learn how to manage your LSF cluster, control daemons, change cluster configurations, and work with hosts, queues, and users.

Work with your cluster
Learn about LSF directories and files, commands to see cluster information, control workload daemons, and how to configure your cluster.
Working with hosts
Check the status of hosts in your cluster, view information about your hosts, control hosts. Add and remove hosts in your cluster.
Job directories and data
Jobs use temporary directories for working files and temporary output. By default, IBM Spectrum LSF uses the default operating system temporary directory. Use the LSF current working directory (CWD) feature to create and manage the job CWD dynamically based on configuration parameters, and any dynamic patterns included in the path. Use the flexible job output directory to create and manage the job output directory dynamically based on configuration parameters.
Job notification
By default, when a batch job completes or exits, LSF sends a job report by email to the submitting user account.
