Remote Resources

You can allow the submission forward policy to consider remote resource availability before forwarding jobs. This allows jobs to be forwarded more successfully, but may result in the submission cluster only running local jobs.

Configure remote resource availability

Submission cluster scheduler considers whether remote resources exist, and only forwards jobs to a queue with free slots or space in the MultiCluster pending job threshold (IMPT_JOBBKLG).

To enable a submission forward policy and consider remote resource availability, define MC_PLUGIN_REMOTE_RESOURCE=y in lsf.conf.

When MC_PLUGIN_REMOTE_RESOURCE is defined, the following resource requirements are supported: -R "type==type_name", and -R "same[type]"

Note:

Both remote resource availability and remote queue workload are considered by the scheduler when the parameter MC_PLUGIN_SCHEDULE_ENHANCE is defined.
