lsfinstall

runs lsfinstall, the Platform LSF installation and configuration script

Synopsis

lsfinstall -f install.config lsfinstall -s -f slave.config

lsfinstall -h

Description

lsfinstall runs the LSF installation scripts and configuration utilities to install a new Platform LSF cluster or upgrade LSF from a previous release.

To install a fully operational LSF cluster that all users can access, you should install as root.

You can run lsfinstall as a non-root user, with limitations.

Required install.config variables

◆LSF_TOP="/path"

◆LSF_ADMINS="user_name [user_name...]"

◆LSF_CLUSTER_NAME="cluster_name"

Required slave.config variables

If you use slave.config for dynamic slave host installation, the following parameters are required:

◆LSF_TOP="/path"

◆LSF_TARDIR="/path"

◆LSF_SERVER_HOSTS="host_name [host_name ...]"

Variables that require an absolute path

◆LSF_LICENSE="/path/license_file"

◆LSF_TOP="/path"

◆LSF_TARDIR="/path"

What lsfinstall does

Before installing and configuring LSF, lsfinstall checks the installation prerequisites, and outputs the results to lsfprechk.rpt. lsfinstall writes any unrecoverable errors to the Install.err file and exits. You must correct these errors before continuing to install and configure LSF.

During installation, lsfinstall logs installation progress in the Install.log file, calls other utilities to uncompress, extract and copy product files, installs a license, and configures the cluster.
