Configure parameters

HOSTS

HOSTS=host_name_1 ... host_name_n ...

List the License Scheduler hosts, including License Scheduler candidate hosts.

  • hostname_1 is the most preferred host for running LSF License Scheduler.

  • hostname_n is the least preferred host for running LSF License Scheduler.

By default, the HOSTS parameter is set to the LSF_MASTER_LIST during installation with LSF. The License scheduler daemon (bld) can only start on the hosts listed in the HOSTS parameter. The first host is the primary license scheduler, and the other hosts are failover backups.

Specify a fully qualified host name such as hostX.mycompany.com. You can omit the domain name if all your License Scheduler clients run in the same DNS domain.

LM_STAT_INTERVAL

LM_STAT_INTERVAL=seconds

Specify the frequency in seconds to collect data from FLEXnet servers.

LM_STAT_INTERVAL defines a time interval between calls that License Scheduler makes to collect license usage information from FLEXnet.

During License Scheduler installation, the interval is set to 60 seconds.

LMSTAT_PATH

LMSTAT_PATH=path

Specify the full path to the location of the FLEXnet command lmstat.

For example, if lmstat is located in /etc/flexlm/bin:

LMSTAT_PATH=/etc/flexlm/bin
Tip:

If the lmstat command is not included in the flexlm/bin directory, you will find it packaged with your LSF distribution in LSF_SERVERDIR.

Example
