Configuration to enable external load indices

To enable the use of external load indices, you must

• Define the dynamic external resources in the lsf.shared file. By default, these resources are host-based (local to each host) until the LSF administrator configures a resource-to-host mapping in the ResourceMap section of lsf.cluster.cluster_name file. The presence of the dynamic external resource in the lsf.shared and lsf.cluster.cluster_name files triggers LSF to start the elim executable files.
• Map the external resources to hosts in your cluster in the lsf.cluster.cluster_name file.
  Important: You must run the lsadmin reconfig and badmin mbdrestart commands after any resource changes in the lsf.cluster.cluster_name and lsf.shared files to synchronize resource information between the LIM and mbatchd daemons.
• Create one or more elim executable files in the directory that is specified by the LSF_SERVERDIR parameter. LSF does not include a default elim; write your own elim executable file to meet the requirements of your site.
