Hibernate in RHEL 4 with LSF
Hi All
We use RHEL 4 in our organization. The workstations are networked, and we also use LSF for compute resource sharing. The question I had was that can we enable Hibernation in Linux, and can this cause some issues with LSF. I fear hibernating a workstation which has submitted a job on LSF can cause the job to suspend.
Is there a way we can work around this problem. Basically, we want to save the energy wasted in machines running idly overnight. Better still, can we enable some form of low power mode so that a computer (workstation and not a machine used to host jobs on LSF) that's idle for more than some time can go into low power mode automatically. However, users find it cumbersome to shutdown machines in evening and then reboot them again next day in morning and reload their local applications again and again.
Pls suggest
Thanks
Sunny
