Parameter and syntax

Behavior

lsf.cluster. cluster_name

Parameters section

ELIMARGS=cmd_line_args

  • Specifies the command-line arguments that are required by an elim on startup.

ELIM_POLL_INTERVAL=seconds

  • Specifies the frequency with which the LIM samples external load index information from the MELIM.

LSF_ELIM_BLOCKTIME=seconds

  • UNIX only. Specifies how long the MELIM waits before restarting an elim that fails to send a complete load update string.

  • The MELIM does not restart an elim that exits with ELIM_ABORT_VALUE.

LSF_ELIM_DEBUG=y

  • UNIX only. Used for debugging; logs all load information received from elim executables to the MELIM log file (melim.log.host_name).

LSF_ELIM_RESTARTS=integer

  • UNIX only. Limits the number of times an elim can be restarted.

  • You must also define either LSF_ELIM_DEBUG or LSF_ELIM_BLOCKTIME.

  • Defining this parameter prevents an ongoing restart loop in the case of a faulty elim.
