The LSF License Scheduler daemon that queries FlexNet licensing software for license usage. blcollect collects information from lmstat.
You can spread the load of license collection by running the license information collection daemon on multiple UNIX hosts.
License tokens are allocated to clusters by License Scheduler, and job scheduling within each cluster is managed by the local mbatchd. Not available before Platform License Scheduler version 8.0.
Each license feature can use either cluster mode or project mode, but not both.
The main FlexNet licensing daemon. Usually grouped into service domains inside License Scheduler.
License tokens are allocated to projects by License Scheduler, and job scheduling for license projects takes place across clusters following the license distribution policy configured for each project. Corresponds to Platform License Scheduler version 7.0.5 and earlier.
Each license feature can use either cluster mode or project mode, but not both.
A group of one or more FlexNet license servers.
You configure the service domain with the license server names and port numbers that serve licenses to a network.
A job that is run by the LSF Task Manager (taskman) tool outside of LSF, but is scheduled by License Scheduler.
One license token represents one actual license, and is used by Platform License Scheduler to track license use and determine which job to dispatch next.
Platform License Scheduler manages license tokens instead of controlling the licenses directly. After reserving license tokens, jobs are dispatched, then the application that needs the license is started. The number of tokens available from LSF corresponds to the number of licenses available from FlexNet, so if a token is not available, the job is not dispatched.
