Install Platform License Scheduler with Platform LSF (UNIX)

You must have write access to the LSF_TOP directories.

  1. Log on as root to the installation file server host.
  2. Download, uncompress, and extract the Platform License Scheduler packages for the platforms you need from the directory distrib/8.0/platform_license_scheduler.

    For example, for x86 64 bit systems running Linux Kernel 2.6.x and compiled with glibc 2.3.x:

    ftp> get lsf8.0_licsched_linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64.tar.Z

    Make sure that you download the License Scheduler distribution files to the same directory where you downloaded the LSF product distribution tar files.

  3. Extract the distribution file.

    For example:

    # zcat lsf8.0_licsched_linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64.tar.Z | tar xvf -

  4. Change to the extracted distribution directory.

    For example:

    # cd lsf8.0_licsched_linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64

  5. Edit ./setup.config to specify the installation variables you want.

    Uncomment the options you want in the template file, and replace the example values with your own settings.

    Tip:

    The sample values in the setup.config template file are examples only. They are not default installation values.

  6. Run the setup script as root:

    # ./setup

  7. Enter y (yes) to confirm that the path to lsf.conf is correct.

    To enter a path to a different lsf.conf, type n (no) and specify the full path to the lsf.conf file you want to use.

  8. Enter y to confirm that the path to lsf.cluster.cluster_name is correct.

    To enter a path to a different lsf.cluster.cluster_name file, type n (no) and specify the full path to the lsf.cluster.cluster_name file you want to use.

  9. Enter y to confirm that you want to use the LSF Administrators list for License Scheduler with LSF.

    To enter a different list of administrators for License Scheduler, enter a space-separated list of administrator user names. You can change your License Scheduler administrators list later, if desired.
