Configuring LSF cluster

Procedure

  1. Add GPFS node as LSF server or as management candidate host.
  2. Configure external load indices as LSF resources, for example:
        gstatus                   						  String  (30)       ()          ()
        gbytesin                  						  Numeric (30)       Y           ()
        gbytesout                 						  Numeric (30)       Y           ()
        gopens                    						  Numeric (30)       Y           ()
        gcloses                  						  Numeric (30)       Y           ()
        greads                    						  Numeric (30)       Y           ()
        gwrites                  						  Numeric (30)       Y           ()
        grdir                    						  Numeric (30)       Y           ()
        giupdate                 						  Numeric (30)       Y           ()
        gbytesin_gpfs_dev_name   Numeric (30)       Y           ()
        gbytesout_gpfs_dev_name  Numeric (30)       Y           ()
        gtotalin                 						  Numeric (30)       N           ()
        gtotalout                						  Numeric (30)       N           ()
  3. Map the external resources to hosts in the ResourceMap section of lsf.cluster.cluster_name. For example:

    Begin ResourceMap

    RESOURCENAME LOCATION

    • # GPFS Per Host Resources
      gstatus            ([hostgpfs01] [hostgpfs02] [hostgpfs03])
      gbytesin           ([hostgpfs01] [hostgpfs02] [hostgpfs03])
      gbytesout          ([hostgpfs01] [hostgpfs02] [hostgpfs03])
      gopens             ([hostgpfs01] [hostgpfs02] [hostgpfs03])
      gcloses            ([hostgpfs01] [hostgpfs02] [hostgpfs03])
      greads             ([hostgpfs01] [hostgpfs02] [hostgpfs03])
      gwrites            ([hostgpfs01] [hostgpfs02] [hostgpfs03])
      grdir              ([hostgpfs01] [hostgpfs02] [hostgpfs03])
      giupdate           ([hostgpfs01] [hostgpfs02] [hostgpfs03])
      gbytesin_gpfs01    ([hostgpfs01] [hostgpfs02] [hostgpfs03])
      gbytesout_gpfs01   ([hostgpfs01] [hostgpfs02] [hostgpfs03])
      gbytesin_gpfs02    ([hostgpfs01] [hostgpfs02] [hostgpfs03])
      gbytesout_gpfs02   ([hostgpfs01] [hostgpfs02] [hostgpfs03])
    • # GPFS shared resources
      gtotalin      [all]
      gtotalout     [all]

      End ResourceMap

  4. Copy the elim executables to your cluster($LSF_SERVERDIR). For example:
    #cp elim.gpfshost elim.gpfsglobal $LSF_SERVERDIR

    By default, the ELIM executable is stored in /opt/rtm/etc.

  5. Reconfigure your cluster.
    #lsfadmin reconfig
    #badmin mbdrestart
