Thread: Can lava manager licens?

I want to submit abaqus job with lava,but abaqus job must need licens to run.Can lava manager licens?If no licens left,it can pend the job until has enough linces.

Hi sh_yyy,

I believe that abaqus has its own license manager, right? Lava can control the number of jobs to share the available licenses by defining it as the share resource in the configuration.

Here is the example adapted from LSF howto page (Using ABAQUS)
This method have nothing to do with the license manage but also control the number of job using the available license.

Add you license in Resource section in lsf.shared:
>
Begin Resource
RESOURCENAME TYPE INTERVAL INCREASING DESCRIPTION
...
abaqus Numeric 10 N (Floating licenses for abaqus)
...
End Resource
>
Note that 10 is the number of available licenses. You can change it into the number of license that you have.
Then, add resource mapping in ResourceMap section in lsf.cluste.<your_cluster_name>:
>
Begin ResourceMap
RESOURCENAME LOCATION
...
abaqus ([all])
...
End ResourceMap
>

Reconfigure the scheduler. Then user can submit job by reserving the amount of licenses using command:

bsub -R "rusage[abaqus=1]" myprog
(Request 1 abaqus license)

For more advanced information please consult the LSF howto page Using ABAQUS
and lsf.shared, lsf.cluster manual (man lsf.shared, man lsf.cluster)

Yes,abaqus use flexm to manager license. Thanks! I understand
