Configuring LAM

You should again read LAM documentation about configuring your farm. I went for the simplest solution. My LAM is installed under Solaris 2.3 in /opt/lam. There is a subdirectory there called /opt/lam/boot. In that directory there is a file bhost.def, and that file looks as follows

gustav@cisr:/opt/lam/boot 236 $ cat bhost.def
#
#       Ohio Trollius
#
#       Function:       - bhost.def
#                       - CISR LAM system
#
cisr
mercury
venus
earth
mars
jupiter
saturn
uranus
bacchus
ceres
diana
minerva
vesta
gustav@cisr:/opt/lam/boot 237 $
It simply lists the names of machines in our Solaris farm. That's all you need to do.

You can have a more elaborate set up with weights and topologies. This is also described in LAM documents.
