  • 1.  About LSF slave server taking over when LSF master is down

    Posted 10/29/25 02:36 PM

    I am trying to work on the slaver server taking over the Master when master goes down. Let me know if any additional setting are required.

    Right now when I do lmadmin reconfig it does recognize the slave as mentioned in lsf.conf

    Basically you need to set LSF_MASTER_LIST="host1 host2" and LSF_SERVER_HOST="host2 host1" in lsf.conf file. For your test, you can shutdown LSF services on the current master node, then see if the backup one can pick up by running lsid command, and check mbatchd/mbschd processes get started on the backup host.
