Ensuring that the lsrun command can run in IBM Spectrum LSF

IBM Spectrum LSF Application Center requires the LSF binary lsrun. To ensure that the LSF configuration allows this binary to run, check that your lsf.conf LSF configuration file settings.

Procedure

  1. Check the appropriate parameter in the lsf.conf configuration file:
    • For LSF Fix Pack 8 and earlier, set LSF_DISABLE_LSRUN=N. This setting enables hosts that are running IBM Spectrum LSF Application Center to run the lsrun command.
    • For LSF Fix Pack 9 and later, set LSF_ADDON_HOSTS="addon_host_list, where the addon_host_list is a space-separated list of hostnames. Specify hostnames; host aliases and IP addresses are not supported. The root users on these specified hosts can remotely execute commands and therefore run the lsrun command.
  2. Apply the changes:
    lsadmin resrestart all
