LSF_ENABLE_CSA

Syntax

LSF_ENABLE_CSA=y | Y

Description

If set, enables LSF to write records for LSF jobs to SGI IRIX Comprehensive System Accounting facility (CSA).

CSA writes an accounting record for each process in the pacct file, which is usually located in the /var/adm/acct/day directory. IRIX system administrators then use the csabuild command to organize and present the records on a job by job basis.

When LSF_ENABLE_CSA is set, for each job run on the IRIX system, LSF writes an LSF-specific accounting record to CSA when the job starts, and when the job finishes. LSF daemon accounting in CSA starts and stops with the LSF daemon.

To disable IRIX CSA accounting, remove LSF_ENABLE_CSA from lsf.conf.

See the IRIX resource administration documentation for information about CSA.

Set up IRIX CSA

  1. Define the LSF_ENABLE_CSA parameter in lsf.conf:
    ... LSF_ENABLE_CSA=Y ...
  2. Set the following parameters in /etc/csa.conf to on:
    • CSA_START

    • WKMG_START

  3. Run the csaswitch command to turn on the configuration changes in /etc/csa.conf.
    Note:

    See the IRIX resource administration documentation for information about the csaswitch command.
