What's new and changed in IBM Spectrum LSF RTM Version 10.2 Fix Pack 12

The following topics summarize the new and changed behavior in IBM Spectrum LSF RTM (RTM) 10.2 Fix Pack 12.

LSF root privileges

By default, you do not need to specify LSF root privileges if you have not specified benchmark and gridadmin with root. If you have used root for these, then to enable root privileges on hosts for IBM Spectrum LSF RTM, you must specify a space-separated list of hosts for the LSF_ADDON_HOSTS parameter in the lsf.conf file. The root users on these specified hosts can then execute commands remotely.

For more information, see LSF_ADDON_HOSTS and Security.

Support for previous LSF versions

To make IBM Spectrum LSF RTM 10.2 Fix Pack 12 work properly with LSF 10.1.0.11 and previous versions, you must configure the following parameters in the lsf.conf file:

LSF_STRICT_CHECKING=N
LSF_AUTH_QUERY_COMMANDS=N
