Sun HPC ClusterTools 3.0 Administrator's Guide: With LSF

Preface

The Sun HPC ClusterTools 3.0 Administrator's Guide: With LSF discusses various Sun HPC-specific administration issues that are not addressed in the LSF Batch documentation. In particular, it describes hpc.conf, a Sun HPC configuration file that extends the definition of Sun HPC system attributes beyond the parameters defined in the LSF configuration files.

Before reading this guide, system administrators and users should read the LSF Batch Administrators Guide, version 3.2, which is supplied with the LSF software.
