Install LSF License Scheduler with LSF (UNIX)

  1. Log on as root to the installation file server host.

    You need to be able to write into the LSF_TOP directories.

  2. Download, uncompress, and extract the LSF License Scheduler packages for the platforms you need from the directory /license_scheduler_ls7_update5/.

    For example, for x86 systems running Linux Kernel 2.4.x and compiled with glibc 2.3.x:

    ftp> get lsf7update6_licsched_linux2.4-glibc2.3-x86.tar.Z

    Make sure that you download the LSF 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 lsf7update6_licsched_linux2.4-glibc2.3-x86.tar.Z | tar xvf -

  4. Change to the extracted distribution directory.

    For example:

    # cd lsf7update6_licsched_linux2.4-glibc2.3-x86

  5. Run the setup script as root:

    # ./setup

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.
