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 later. 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, these GPU parameters
are not configured in the lsf.conf configuration file and will take the default values. The 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 in 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
