Configure LSF

A YAML cluster configuration file for an LSF resource manager on an HPC cluster looks like:

# /etc/ood/config/clusters.d/my_cluster.yml
---
v2:
  metadata:
    title: "My Cluster"
  login:
    host: "my_cluster.my_center.edu"
  job:
    adapter: "lsf"
    bindir: "/path/to/lsf/bin"
    libdir: "/path/to/lsf/lib"
    envdir: "/path/to/lsf/conf"
    serverdir: "/path/to/lsf/etc"
    # bin_overrides:
      # bsub: "/usr/local/bin/bsub"
      # bjobs: ""
      # bstop: ""
      # bresume: ""
      # bkill: ""
