IBM Spectrum LSF advanced configuration

Learn about LSF error and event logging and how LSF handles job exceptions. Configure advanced LSF features.

Error and event logging
Learn how LSF uses system directories, log files, temporary work files, log files, and transaction files and job spooling files. Manage LSF error logs, system event logs. Configure duplicate logging of event logs and set daemon message log levels. Set daemon timing levels and configure LSF job termination reason logging. Learn about LSF job exit codes.
Event generation
Learn how LSF detects events occurring during daemon operations. LSF provides a program which translates LSF events into SNMP traps. Certain daemon operations cause mbatchd or the parent LIM to call the event program to generate an event. Each LSF event is identified by a predefined number, which is passed as an argument to the event program.
Customize batch command messages
How LIM determines host models and types
Shared file access
Shared configuration file content
Use the #INCLUDE directive to insert the contents of the specified file into a configuration file to share common configurations between clusters or hosts.
Authentication and authorization
Handle job exceptions
Tune CPU factors
Set clean period for DONE jobs
Enable host-based resources
Learn how Portable Hardware Locality (hwloc) is integrated into LSF to detect hardware information. Enable LSF so applications can use NVIDIA Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) and Intel Xeon Phi (MIC) co-processors in a Linux environment.
Global fair share scheduling
The global fair share scheduling policy divides the processing power of the IBM Spectrum LSF multicluster capability and the LSF/XL feature of IBM Spectrum LSF Advanced Edition among users to provide fair access to all resources, so that every user can use the resources of multiple clusters according to their configured shares.
Manage LSF on EGO
The enterprise grid orchestrator capability (EGO) enables enterprise applications to benefit from sharing of resources across the enterprise grid. When LSF on EGO is configured, EGO serves as the central resource broker for LSF.

Register LSF host names and IP addresses to LSF servers
Register the IP address and host name of your local LSF host with LSF servers so that LSF servers do not need to use the DNS server to resolve your local host.
