Work with LSF

Start and stop LSF daemons, and reconfigure cluster properties. Check LSF status and submit LSF jobs.

Start, stop, and reconfigure LSF
Use LSF administration commands lsadmin and badmin to start and stop LSF daemons, and reconfigure cluster properties.
Check LSF status
Use LSF administration commands to check cluster configuration, see cluster status, and LSF batch workload system configuration and status.
Run LSF jobs
Use the bsub and lsrun commands to run jobs through LSF. Use the bjobs command to see the status of your jobs. Control job execution with the bstop, bresume, and bkill commands.
Manage users, hosts, and queues
Make your cluster available to users with cshrc.lsf and profile.lsf. Add or remove hosts and queues from your cluster.
Configure LSF startup
Use the lsf.sudoers file so that LSF administrators can start and stop LSF daemons. Set up LSF to start automatically.
Manage software licenses and other shared resources
Set up an LSF external LIM (ELIM) to monitor software licenses as dynamic shared resources.
