Preparing to install standard LSF You can install standard LSF on XC in place of SLURM and LSF-HPC. This procedure removes SLURM and LSF-HPC and configures standard LSF daemons on every compute node in the XC cluster. Prerequisites The following software is needed to install standard LSF on XC: • The appropriate standard LSF binary tar file. For XC v2.n this is as follows (where X.Y is the selected LSF version, such as 6.1): • lsfX.Y_linux2.4-glibc2.3-ia64.tar.Z for an XC6000 Itanium-based system. • lsfX.
2. Configure standard LSF to automatically start on node boot. To do this, you must convert a slurm_launch script from starting munge on every node to starting LSF on every node. The MUNGE service is required only by SLURM. The slurm_launch script insures that the configured service (in this case, LSF) is enabled for automatic startup during node boot up, via the chkconfig command. Make the following file changes: 1. Edit the file /opt/hptc/etc/nconfig.
Installing standard LSF Overview of the example configuration Perform the following steps to install standard LSF on an XC system. The example provided installs LSF v6.1 on a Cluster Platform 3000. The most important decision when installing standard LSF on XC is where to put the installation files. The Platform documentation for installing standard LSF recommends establishing a location that is shared among all the nodes participating in the LSF cluster.
b. LSF_ADMINS is required and can be set to the same account that was created for LSF_HPC (the default is lsfadmin). Whatever value is entered, it must be a user account that exists on all nodes in the XC cluster c. LSF_CLUSTER_NAME is required, and can be anything that complies with the naming rules. d. LSF_ADD_SERVERS is where you specify which nodes you want running LSF. HP recommends that you specify a filename for this value.
