Perform the tasks described in this section after you run the startsys utility to propagate the golden image to all nodes and start your system.

Required Task: Restart the LSF LIM Daemon

This release note applies to systems where LSF-HPC with SLURM has been installed and configured; skip this task if your system is installed and configured with standard LSF.

The LSF Load Information Manager (LIM) daemon must be restarted so that it can be properly licensed for all compute node processors. At this point, LSF is only licensed for a subset of the available compute node processors.

Follow this procedure to start the LSF LIM daemon:

  1. As the root user, determine the node on which the LSF daemons are running:

    # controllsf show current
  2. Log in to the node on which the LSF daemons are running (unless it is the local node) and restart the LIM:

    # lsadmin limrestart
  3. Confirm that LSF is fully licensed for all of the compute nodes that have been booted up and are running:

    # sinfo --long --Node --exact --partition=lsf

    This command displays all of the compute nodes in the lsf partition and the number of CPUs per node. Total the number of CPUs and make sure that the sum matches the ncpus value in the output of the lshosts command in the next step.

  4. Ensure that the total number of compute processors matches the ncpus value in the output of the lshosts command:

    # lshosts

    If the lshosts command displays the number of ncpus that is less than the total number of CPUs computed from the sinfo output, restart the LIM one more time.
