Feature groups view, list, and control groups of features instead of each individual feature.
In lsf.licensescheduler, configure a FeatureGroup section, listing the license features associated with that license. For example:
FEATURE_LIST = ASTRO VCS_Runtime_Net Hsim Hspice
When FEATURE_LIST is configured for a group of license features in lsf.licensescheduler, you can run blinfo -g and blstat -g to see information about the features configured for the specified feature groups.
When you specify feature names with -t, features in the feature list defined by -t and features in feature list of feature groups are both displayed.
Feature groups listed with -g but not defined in lsf.licensescheduler are ignored.
The command blstat -g can be used alone or with options -Lp, -t, -D ,-G', -s. The option -g is not supported together with -S, since blstat -S displays information for all the features.
The command blinfo '-g' can be used alone or with options -a, -t, -C, and -A.
For the following feature group configurations in lsf.licensescheduler:
Shows information for feature1 and feature2 in descending alphabetic order.
Shows information for feature3 and feature3 in descending alphabetic order.
blstat -t "feature3 feature4" -g "myFeatureGroup1 myFeatureGroup2 FeatureGroup3"
Shows information for feature1, feature2, feature3, feature4 in descending alphabetic order. Information for each feature is displayed only once. Feature group "FeatureGroup3" is ignored because it is not defined in lsf.licensescheduler.
