Description

◆ 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.
