Configure global limits

Enable global limits by specifying the GLOBAL_LIMITS parameter in the lsb.params file. Define global limits in the Limit section of the lsb.globalpolicies file.

Before you begin

To use global limits, you must ensure that the LSB_GPD_PORT and LSB_GPD_CLUSTER parameters are defined correctly in the lsf.conf file for the gpolicyd daemon.

Procedure

Edit the lsb.params file and define the GLOBAL_LIMITS parameter to enable global limit scheduling among all clusters.
```
GLOBAL_LIMITS=Y
```
Edit the lsb.globalpolicies file and specify the global resource allocation limits in the Limit section.

Specify global resource allocations the same way you would specify local resource allocation limits in the Limit sections of the lsb.resources file.
For example, to configure global limits using the horizontal format,
```
Begin Limit 
NAME                = limit1 
USERS               = ugroup1 ~user1 
JOBS                = 12 
End Limit
```
