Description

By default, displays the version and patch level of Platform products.

The cluster location is normally determined by your environment setting, so ensure your environment is set before you run this command (for example, you sourced cshrc.lsf or profile.lsf).

For each binary type, displays basic version information (package build date, build number, package installed date) and lists patches installed (package type, build number, date installed, fixes).

Optionally, the command can also be used to do the following:

◆Check the contents of a package before installing it

◆Show information about a specific Platform product installed

◆Show information about installed packages from specific build

◆Find current versions of a specific Platform file and see information for each

Options

-fenv_file This option should only be used if you cannot set your environment (for example, you cannot source cshrc.lsf or profile.lsf).

Specify the full path and file name of a file (such as your LSF install.config file) that properly defines the parameter LSF_TOP.

If you use this option, the command gets the cluster location from this file, not from the settings in your environment.

-b build_number Specify the build number of an installed patch (you can specify the most recent full installation or patches installed after the most recent full installation).

Displays information and the contents of the build (binary type and install date, notes, fixes, and files in the package).

-c package_name Specify the full path and file name of an uninstalled package. For this option, you do not need to set your environment because a cluster is not required.

Displays package contents (notes, fixes, and files in the patch).

-p product_name Specify one Platform product to see information for that product only. Specify LSF to see information about LSF or PMC to see information about the Console package.
