1. Configure IBM Spectrum LSF for HP Remote Graphics Software (RGS)

Add the resource rgs_linux to the $LSF_ENVDIR/lsf.shared and $LSF_ENVDIR/lsf.cluster files.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the LSF® management host as the LSF administrator.
  2. Set your LSF environment.

    For csh or tcsh:

    % source LSF_TOP/conf/cshrc.lsf

    For sh, ksh, or bash:

    $ . LSF_TOP/conf/profile.lsf

  3. Edit the file $LSF_ENVDIR/lsf.shared and add the resource rgs_linux for the RGS sender host as follows:
    Begin Resource
    RESOURCENAME  TYPE    INTERVAL INCREASING  DESCRIPTION        # Keywords
    rgs_linux      Boolean ()       ()     (rgs_linux resource type)
    End Resource
  4. Edit the file $LSF_ENVDIR/lsf.cluster and add the rgs_linux resource to each LSF server host (application host).

    For example, your application hosts are servera1 and servera2:

    Begin   Host
    HOSTNAME  model    type        server r1m  mem  swp  RESOURCES   #Keywords
    servera1   !   !   1   3.5   ()   ()   (rgs_linux)
    servera2   !   !   1   3.5   ()   ()   (rgs_linux)
    End Host
  5. Edit the file $LSF_ENVDIR/lsbatch/cluster_name/configdir/lsb.queues and define a new queue for RGS jobs.
    Begin Queue
    QUEUE_NAME=rgs_job_queue
    RES_REQ       = rgs_linux
    EXCLUSIVE     = Y
    
    …
    End Queue
  6. Run the lsadmin reconfig and badmin reconfig commands to make your changes take effect.
