Readme file for IBM® Spectrum LSF 10.1 Fix 602209


Abstract

P105228.  This fix allows the bhosts <remote_cluster> command request to run successfully, without errors.


Description

Readme documentation for IBM Spectrum LSF 10.1 Fix 602209 including installation-related instructions, prerequisites and co-requisites, and list of fixes.

This fix addresses the following issue:

When the EQUIV setting is enabled in the RemoteClusters section within the lsf.cluster file in an LSF multicluster environment, running the bhosts <remote_cluster> command from a newly joined floating client host does not trigger updating host information between clusters after reaching the CACHE_INTERVAL value. The command request is rejected by the remote cluster with a Request from non-LSF host rejected error message, and the error lasts until other operations trigger updating host information.

5. Installation and configuration

Before you install

LSF_TOP=Full path to the top-level installation directory of LSF.

1.     You must have LSF 10.1 Fix Pack 12 or later installed before installing this fix.

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, and these GPU parameters are not configured in the lsf.conf configuration file, the default values will be used, and 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

3.  If you are using the lsfd.service file from Fix Pack 14 or Fix   build601849, make sure you apply Fix build602067. You can download the LSF fix from https://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral.
