LSF Components

LSF has four parts to its architecture: a Load Information Manager (LIM), a Remote Execution Server (RES), a slave batch daemon (sbatchd) and a master batch daemon (mbatchd).

They are root-owned daemons. LIM, RES and sbatchd run on each host in a load sharing cluster. These daemons are invoked at boot time. The sbatchd daemon on the master host invokes mbatchd.

LIM

The LIM collects load and resource information about all hosts in the cluster and provides host selection services to applications through LSLIB. The LIM maintains information on static system resources and dynamic load indices.

RES

The RES provides the mechanisms for transparent remote execution of tasks. The RES accepts remote execution requests from all load sharing applications and handles input/output on the remote host for load shared processes.

mbatchd

User jobs are held by mbatchd when submitted. mbatchd periodically checks the load information on all candidate hosts by contacting the master LIM. When a host with the necessary resource becomes available, mbatchd will send a job to the sbatchd on that host for execution. When more than one candidate host becomes available, mbatchd chooses the best host.

sbatchd

An sbatchd daemon accepts job execution requests from the mbatchd, and monitors the progress of its jobs. sbatchd controls the execution of the jobs and reports job status to mbatchd.

Troubleshooting

What Should Be Running?

The process status command, ps, run on an LSF server host should show the LIM (lim), RES (res), and sbatchd daemons. The master host should also show the mbatchd daemon.

LSF Error Log Files

LSF error messages can be logged to either syslog, or log files if LSF_LOGDIR is defined in lsf.conf. There are three error log files for each server host: lim.log.host, res.log.host and sbatchd.log.host. In addition, the master host has mbatchd.log.host.
