286 Platform LSF Command Reference

Checks that your user account has permission to write to the installation directory,

backup directory, and history directory.

Lists existing files that will be overwritten by the patch.

Lists files that to be added by the patch.

-f env_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.

-h Outputs command usage and exits.

-r Rollback. You must specify the most recently installed patch. The installer checks

all binary types and finds all instances where the most recently installed patch has

the same build number. These packages are removed and the cluster reverts to the

previous patch level.

Specify the build number of the most recent patch or specify full path to the package

you used to install the most recent patch, The installer automatically checks the

package to determine the build. You cannot specify any other build.

To remove multiple patches and roll back multiple versions, you must run the

command multiple times and roll back one patch level at a time.

You cannot roll back if the backup files from the previous patch level are unavailable

(if you deleted them from the patch backup directory).

--silent Silent mode. Install or roll back without any interactive prompts for confirmation.

Output

Status information and prompts are displayed in your command console.

Status information is also logged to

patch.log (when patching or rolling back the

cluster) or

precheck.log (when checking a package).

If there are any problems found when checking a package, errors are displayed in

your command console and also logged to

patch.err.
