GLOBAL_LIMITS

Description

When using the LSF multicluster capability, this parameter enables global limit scheduling among all clusters. Job group limits are still applied when the jobs are forwarded to another cluster.

The global policy daemon (gpolicyd) is responsible for applying global limits. To use global limits, you must also ensure that the LSB_GPD_PORT and LSB_GPD_CLUSTER parameters are defined correctly in the lsf.conf file for gpolicyd.

The syntax for specifying global resource allocation limits is the same as specifying local resource allocation limits, but are specified in the Limit sections of the lsb.globalpolicies. The global policy daemon (gpolicyd) reads the limits from the lsb.globalpolicies file and applies these limits to all the clusters.

Batch features for the LSF multicluster capability, job forward mode, or lease mode are not required to use global limits. However, job group limits, which are needed to limit the forwarded job, requires the job forward mode for the LSF multicluster capability.
