Updating idle time before worker nodes are removed

Updating idle time before worker nodes are removed

Complete the following steps to adjust the idle time for dynamic hosts that are returning to IBM Cloud®. By default the value is set to 10 minutes.

  1. Find the lsf.conf file on your management host. Typically, the file is located in the folder $LSF_ENVDIR environment variable. In a typical installation, it would be in the /opt/ibm/lsf/conf/lsf.conf folder.

  2. Update the LSB_RC_EXTERNAL_HOST_IDLE_TIME property. See the following sample content for an example:

    #enable IDLE time to return the VMs
    
    LSB_RC_EXTERNAL_HOST_IDLE_TIME=10
    
  3. Run the following commands to make the changes:

    lsadmin reconfig
    
    badmin mbdrestart
