Global resource collection

LSF collects information for static global resources from the configuration in the lsb.globalpolicies file, and collects information for dynamic global resources from the global resource collection daemon (called GRES).

The GRES daemon is a global resource ELIM, and therefore, supports the same syntax and usage as the local ELIMs. The management GRES is called MGRES. The prefix for a GRES executable file is gres., for example gres.myscript.

The gres and mgres executable files are in the $LSF_SERVERDIR directory in the global policy cluster. The global policy daemon starts, controls, and collects dynamic global resource information from the MGRES. The MGRES and GRES instances only start up in the global policy cluster.
