Work with your cluster

Learn about LSF directories and files, commands to see cluster information, control workload daemons, and how to configure your cluster.

Viewing LSF cluster information
Use the lsid, badmin, bparams, and lsclusters commands to find information about the LSF cluster.
Control LSF system daemons
Commands for starting, shutting down, restarting, and reconfiguring LSF system daemons.
Commands to reconfigure your cluster
After you change parameters in LSF configuration files, you must run commands for LSF to reread the files to update the configuration.
Live reconfiguration
Use live reconfiguration to make configuration changes in LSF active memory that takes effect immediately. Live reconfiguration requests use the bconf command, and generate updated configuration files in the directory set by the LSF_LIVE_CONFDIR parameter in the lsf.conf file.
