Inside an LSF cluster

Learn about the various daemon processes that run on LSF hosts, LSF cluster communications paths, and how LSF tolerates host failure in the cluster.

LSF daemons and processes
Multiple LSF processes run on each host in the cluster. The type and number of processes that are running depends on whether the host is a management host or a compute host.
LSF cluster communication paths
Understand the communication paths between the LSFdaemons in the cluster.
Fault tolerance and automatic management host failover
The robust architecture of LSF is designed with fault tolerance in mind. Every component in the system has a recovery operationso that vital components are monitored by another component and can automatically recover from a failure.
Security
Understand the LSF security model, authentication, and user roles.
