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, described in “If you
install as a non-root user” on page 204.
Required install.config variables
◆ LSF_TOP="/path"
◆ LSF_ADMINS="user_name [user_name...]"
◆ LSF_CLUSTER_NAME="cluster_name"
See “install.config” on page 307 for an example
install.config file.
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 ...]"
See “slave.config” on page 627 for an example
slave.config file.
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.
After installation, you should run
hostsetup to set up each server host in the cluster.
After setting up the server hosts, you should start your cluster and test the installation
by running some basic commands.
