1. Copy default-lsf-env.json to something convenient like env0.json.

   1. Code Block
      cp default-lsf-env.json env0.json

2. Note Line numbers listed below reference the above example file. Once changes start being made on the system, the line numbers may change.

3. Line 2 : "EnvName" is set to lsf by default, but you can specify something unique if needed.

4. Lines 5-17 can be modified for a single pool of identical compute resources or they can be duplicated and then modified for each “hardware” configuration or “pool” you choose. When duplicating, be sure to add a comma after the brace on line 17, except when it is the last brace, or the final pool declaration.

   1. PoolName: This will be the apparent hostnames of the compute resources provided for LSF.

      1. It is recommended that all pools share a common trunk or base in each PoolName.

   2. Priority: LSF will treat all pools as having equal priority and then make scheduling decisions based on alphabetical naming. It may be beneficial to set smaller nodes with a lower priority, something like:

      1. 2-core nodes : Priority=10

      2. 4-core nodes : Priority=100

      3. 8-core nodes : Priority=1000

      4. So that jobs are scheduled on the smallest node that fulfills the resource requirements of the job.

   3. PoolSize: This is the maximum number of these compute resources.

   4. ProfileName: This is the default profile name, az1: If this is changed, you will need to carry the change forward.

   5. CPUs: This is the targeted CPU-core limit for this "hardware" configuration or pool.

   6. ImageName: This is tied to the AMI that will be used for your compute resources. This name will be used in subsequent steps.

   7. MaxMemory: This is the targeted memory limit for this "hardware" configuration or pool.

   8. MinMemory: reserved for future use; can be ignored currently.

   9. UserData: This string is a base64 encoded version of user_data.

      1. To generate it:

         1. cat user_data.sh | base64 -w 0

      2. To decode it:

         1. echo "<LongBase64EncodedString>" | base64 -d

      3. It’s not required to be perfectly fine-tuned at this stage; it will be refined and corrected later.

      4. You may format user_data.sh in the usual ways:

         1. Code Block

            #cloud-config runcmd: - [sh, -c, "set -x"] - [sh, -c, "hostname $( echo ip-$ (hostname -I |sed 's/\./-/g' |sed 's/ //g' ) )"] - [sh, -c, "echo root:AAAAAA |chpasswd"] - [sh, -c, "sed -i.orig '3d' /etc/hosts"] - [sh, -c, "echo >> /etc/hosts"] - [sh, -c, "echo -e \"$( hostname -I )\t\t\t$( hostname )\" >> /etc/hosts"] - [sh, -c, "sed -i 's/awshost/xiohost/g' /opt/lsf/conf/lsf.conf"] - [sh, -c, "source /opt/lsf/conf/profile.lsf"] - [sh, -c, "lsadmin limstartup"] - [sh, -c, "lsadmin resstartup"] - [sh, -c, "badmin hstartup"]

            or

         2. Code Block

            #!/bin/bash set -x #hostname XSPOT_NODENAME hostname IP=$( echo ip-$ (hostname -I |sedawk 's/\./-/g' |sed 's/ //g{print $1}' ) ) NEW_HOSTNAME=ip-$( echo root:AAAAAA${IP} |chpasswd #delete an /etc/hosts entry sed -i.orig '3d' /etc/hosts #add an /etc/hosts self-identifying entrysed 's/\./-/g' ) hostname ${NEW_HOSTNAME} echo >> /etc/hosts echo -e "$( hostname -I )\t{IP}\t\t$( hostname ){NEW_HOSTNAME}" >> /etc/hosts #change resource designation sed -i 's/awshost/xiohost/g' /opt/lsf/conf/lsf.conf . /opt/lsf/conf/profile.lsf lsadmin limstartup lsadmin resstartup badmin hstartup

   10. VolumeSize: reserved for future use; can be ignored currently.

5. All other fields/lines in this asset can be ignored.
