Before you install
LSF_TOP is the full path to the top-level installation directory of LSF.
1. Before you apply this fix, ensure that you installed LSF 10.1 Fix Pack 12 or above. You can download LSF 10.1 Fix Pack 12 from https://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral. Search for build600488. Contact IBM LSF Support if you have any questions or problems with installing Fix Pack 12.
2. Starting
in LSF 10.1 Fix Pack 13, the default values of the following three GPU
parameters are changed to:
LSF_GPU_AUTOCONFIG=Y
LSB_GPU_NEW_SYNTAX=extend
LSF_GPU_RESOURCE_IGNORE=Y
If you have Fix Pack 13 installed, the if these GPU parameters are not
configured in the lsf.conf
configuration file, the default values will be used, and parameters already
configured in the lsf.conf file
will not be affected.
If you want to keep the former GPU behavior, and if any of the three
parameters are missing from the lsf.conf
configuration file, you must explicitly configure the following default
settings that are defined in Fix Pack 12 or earlier:
LSF_GPU_AUTOCONFIG=N
LSB_GPU_NEW_SYNTAX=N
LSF_GPU_RESOURCE_IGNORE=N
