Installing LSF-HPC With SLURM Into an Existing Standard LSF Cluster

A summary of the IP addresses and host names used in this example follows:
plain 16.32.1.24 Non-XC node in pre-existing LSF cluster
xc-head 16.32.2.128 Head node of XC cluster
xc 16.32.2.130 XC cluster alias (not used by LSF)
xclsf 16.32.2.140 IP and hostname to be used as the external XC LSF alias
The XC cluster alias is mentioned here to prevent confusion between the XC cluster alias and the XC
LSF alias. It is possible to have two separate aliases on HP XC, and depending on the cluster
configuration, these aliases might even reside on the same node. However, their purposes are distinct
from each other.
There might also be additional IPs and hostnames used by an HP XC cluster. For example, each node
with an external connection (either for login or I/O purposes) typically has its own IP and hostname.
For the purpose of the example, the existing cluster characteristics are as follows:
• The value of LSF_TOP is set to /shared/lsf.
• The account lsfadmin is configured as the Primary LSF Administrator.
• The name of the existing LSF cluster is corplsf.
