EGO in the LSF cluster

When EGO is enabled in the cluster, EGO may control services for components such as the HPC Portal or LSF Reports (PERF). This is recommended. It allows failover among multiple management hosts, and allows EGO cluster commands to start, stop, and restart the services.

See the LSF administrator documentation for more details on the benefits of enabling EGO and using EGO to control the services.

Installation choices

When you install the cluster and enable EGO, you can configure the following separately:

  • EGO control of sbatchd and res

  • EGO control of HPC Portal (webgui)

  • EGO control of PERF services (plc, jobdt, purger, and derbydb)

For example, you could choose EGO control for PERF services, but not sbatchd and res, and not HPC Portal.
