Manage hosts

Using LSF base APIs you can manage hosts in your cluster by:

  • Removing hosts from a cluster

  • Adding hosts to a cluster

  • Locking a host in a cluster

  • Unlocking a host in a cluster

To manage the hosts in your cluster you need to be root or the LSF administrator as defined in the file:

LSF_CONFDIR/lsf.cluster.<clustername>

By managing your hosts you can control the placement of jobs and manage your resources more effectively.
