Required. Defines a list of hosts that are candidates to become the master host for the cluster.
Listed hosts must be defined in lsf.cluster.cluster_name.
Host names are separated by spaces.
Starting in LSF 7, LSF_MASTER_LIST must be defined in lsf.conf.
If EGO is enabled, LSF_MASTER_LIST can only be defined lsf.conf. EGO_MASTER_LIST can only be defined in ego.conf. EGO_MASTER_LIST cannot be defined in lsf.conf. LSF_MASTER_LIST cannot be defined ego.conf.
LIM reads EGO_MASTER_LIST wherever it is defined. If both LSF_MASTER_LIST and EGO_MASTER_LIST are defined, the value of EGO_MASTER_LIST in ego.conf is taken. To avoid errors, you should make sure that the value of LSF_MASTER_LIST matches the value of EGO_MASTER_LIST, or define only EGO_MASTER_LIST.
If EGO is disabled, ego.conf not loaded and the value of LSF_MASTER_LIST defined in lsf.conf is taken.
When you run lsadmin reconfig to reconfigure the cluster, only the master LIM candidates read lsf.shared and lsf.cluster.cluster_name to get updated information. The elected master LIM sends configuration information to slave LIMs.
You can use the same list of hosts, or a subset of the master host list defined in LSF_MASTER_LIST, in LSF_SERVER_HOSTS. If you include the primary master host in LSF_SERVER_HOSTS, you should define it as the last host of the list.
LSF_MASTER_LIST="lsfmaster hostE"
LSF_SERVER_HOSTS="hostB hostC hostD hostE lsfmaster"
The value of LSF_SERVER_HOSTS is not changed during upgrade.
