To distribute your license information collection

  1. Log on as the primary License Scheduler administrator.
  2. In lsf.licensescheduler, specify the name of the license information collector in the ServiceDomain section:

    Specify one LIC_COLLECTOR for each service domain:

    Begin ServiceDomain
    NAME=DesignCenterA
    LIC_SERVERS=((1700@hostA)(1700@hostB))
    LIC_COLLECTOR=lic_collector_name
    LM_STAT_INTERVAL=seconds
    End ServiceDomain

    Where:

    • lic_collector_name is the name you specify for license information collection for a service domain. You can use any name, but you must use the same name when you start the license information collector daemon.

    • seconds is the time interval between queries made by the collector. The collector for this service domain will use the specified value rather than the global LM_STAT_INTERVAL value defined in the Parameters section.

  3. Log on to any host.
  4. If the host is not in the shared file system used by LSF, make sure you set your environment to the directory containing lsf.licensescheduler.

    For example:

    setenv LSF_ENVDIR "/mydir/conf"

  5. Run the following command for each service domain you define in lsf.licensescheduler:

    blcollect -m "host_list" -p lic_scheduler_port -c lic_collector_name

    Where:

    • host_list

      Specifies a space-separated list of License Scheduler candidate hosts to which license information is sent. Use fully qualified host names.

    • lice_scheduler_port

      Corresponds to the License Scheduler listening port, which is set in lsf.licensescheduler.

    • lic_collector_name

      Specifies the name of the license collector you set for LIC_COLLECTOR in the service domain section of lsf.licensescheduler.

      For example:

      blcollect -m "hostD.designcenter_b.com hostA.designcenter_a.com" -p 9581 -c CenterB

      A file named collectors/CenterB is created in your LSF_WORKDIR.

      Note:

      If you do not specify a license collector name in an LSF License Scheduler service domain, the master bld host starts a default blcollect.
