That is correct -- Guangyu Wu's response was technically correct but misleading. The TM interface is for Torque/PBS integration, not LSF integration.
I think the outstanding questions are:
- What about your environment is disallowing the use of ssh? (it's surprising that ssh would not be allowed, but not unheard of)
- Can you upgrade your version of LAM? I honestly don't remember what job scheduler support we had for LSF way back then (years ago!), but I do remember that we had a bug in the LSF detection stuff for at least a little while (I don't remember what version(s) specifically). As far as I know, the LSF stuff is correct in the current version (7.1.2). Is there any possibility that you can upgrade?
