I have looked carefully through the LAM-MPI Users guide and can not find any integration notes for what must be done in an LSF environment to use the "TM" interface. The documentation for Torque / PBSpro states that the batch queueing system is automatically detected and the TM interface is used.

So I have "tested" the integration with LSF by doing nothing special and trying to run a job. Nothing seemed to detect the LSF environment, the job failed saying that it could not contact the LAM daemons (because none were booted). So I believe this is an incorrect statement and the "TM" interface is not integrated with LSF.

Someone prove me wrong? Please?

There is a TM interface integrated in WMS such as PBS Pro which could boot lam without rsh/ssh. I believe LSF also has such an integration with Lam.

You have an installation where rsh can't be used due to security concerns... and ssh can't be used because it's "not viable"?

Do they make you communicate with you coworkers by blinking flashlights at them?
