Enabling Dynamic Cluster hosts to run any LSF job

Enable Dynamic Cluster hosts to run any non-Dynamic Cluster jobs.

1. Create an external submission (esub) script file named esub.myesub in the directory specified by the LSF_SERVERDIR paramater in lsf.conf.

   Create the script file based on whether you want non-Dynamic Cluster jobs to run on physical or virtual machines.

   • To modify all non-Dynamic Cluster jobs to run on physical Dynamic Cluster hosts:

     #!/bin/sh
     #
     if [ -z "$LSB_SUB_PARM_FILE" ]; then
         # if not set do nothing
         exit 0
     fi
     
     exec 1>&2
     . $LSB_SUB_PARM_FILE
     
     if [ -z "$LSB_SUB4_DC_TEMPLATE" ]; then
         if [ "$LSB_SUB_QUEUE" == "priority" ]; then
             echo "LSB_SUB4_DC_TEMPLATE=\"VM_T1\"" >> $LSB_SUB_MODIFY_FILE
         else
             echo "LSB_SUB4_DC_TEMPLATE=\"any\"" >> $LSB_SUB_MODIFY_FILE
         fi
     fi
     
     if [ -z "$LSB_SUB4_DC_MTYPE_VM" ] && [ -z "$LSB_SUB4_DC_MTYPE_PM" ]; then
         echo "LSB_SUB4_DC_MTYPE_ANY=Y" >> $LSB_SUB_MODIFY_FILE
     fi

   • To modify all non-Dynamic Cluster jobs to run on virtual Dynamic Cluster hosts:

     if [ -z "$LSB_SUB4_DC_TEMPLATE" ]; then
         # Select dc template based on queue
         if [ "$LSB_SUB_QUEUE" == "QUEUE_1" ]; then
             echo "LSB_SUB4_DC_TEMPLATE=\"vm1\"" >> $LSB_SUB_MODIFY_FILE
         else
             echo "LSB_SUB4_DC_TEMPLATE=\"any\"" >> $LSB_SUB_MODIFY_FILE
         fi
     fi
     
     #Check if -dc_vmaction save is specified, if not, then select action based on queue
     if [ -z "$LSB_SUB4_DC_PREEMPTACTION_VM" ]; then
         #Select dc_vmaction based on queue
         echo "LSB_SUB4_DC_PREEMPTACTION_VM=\"savevm\"" >> $LSB_SUB_MODIFY_FILE
     fi
     
     #Check if -dc_mtype vm is specified, if not, then let job running on DC VM host
     if [ -z "$LSB_SUB4_DC_MTYPE_PM" ] && [ -z "$LSB_SUB4_DC_MTYPE_ANY" ]; then
         echo "LSB_SUB4_DC_MTYPE_VM=Y" >> $LSB_SUB_MODIFY_FILE
     fi

2. Configure LSF to specify a mandatory esub method to apply to all job submissions.

   Edit lsf.conf and specify the LSB_ESUB_METHOD parameter:

   LSB_ESUB_METHOD="myesub"

3. Restart mbatchd for your changes to take effect.
