Add new node to existing Platform LSF Cluster

Add new node to existing Platform LSF Cluster

See if the new node is of the same type (eg. linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64) as those existing in the cluster.
If it does, a sub directory named (eg. linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64) with its type will exist in LSF_TOP/7.0
1. Log on to the master host as root,
2. add the hosts to lsf.cluster.cluster_name (file can be fount at LSF_TOP/conf). If they are servers, specify 1, otherwise specify 0. You can use !  for model and type for automatic detection.
3. run badmin mbdrestart
4. On the new host, create “lsfadmin” user & run ./hostsetup –top=”/usr/share/lsf” –boot=”y” found under LSF_TOP/7.0/install as root user.
5. Start LSF on the new host with: lsadmin limstartup, lsadmin resstartup and badmin hstartup
If the new host is different architecture
1. Get the LSF distribution file for the new type (eg aix5-64) from the download section in my.platform.com (Need valid user account to login)
2. Edit install.config in LSF_TOP/7.0/install
3. Change the following parameters:
a. For LSF_TARDIR, specify the path to the tar file. For example:LSF_TARDIR=”/usr/share/lsf_distrib/7.0″
b. For LSF_ADD_SERVERS, list the new host names enclosed in quotes and separated by spaces.
For example:LSF_ADD_SERVERS=”hosta hostb”
4. Run ./lsfinstall -f install.config. This automatically creates the host information in lsf.cluster.cluster_name.
5. Run lsadmin reconfig and badmin reconfig
