Reconfigure your cluster

After changing LSF configuration files, you must tell LSF to reread the files to update the configuration. Use the following commands to reconfigure a cluster:

lsadmin reconfig
badmin reconfig
badmin mbdrestart

The reconfiguration commands that you use depend on which files you change in LSF. The following table is a quick reference.

After making changes to ...	Use ...	Which ...
