Global resources

Global resources are resources that are shared between all connected clusters.

You can configure global resources to be either static or dynamic. Dynamic global resources use a global resource ELIM (called GRES) to dynamically collect global resources.

LSF handles global resources in the same way as local resources. For resource requirement strings, specify global resources for simple, compound, and alternative resource requirement strings in the same way as local resources. In addition, specify global resources for the rusage, select, span, same, cu, order, duration, and decay keywords in the resource requirement in the same way as local resources.

Global resources cannot have the same name as a local resource in the global policy daemon (GPD) cluster and local limits do not apply to global resources.
