HP XC System Software Installation Guide Version 3.2.1

partition. If you want additional partitions, configure
them manually in the /hptc_cluster/slurm/etc/slurm.conf file.
The current Node Partition configuration is:
PartitionName=lsf RootOnly=YES Shared=FORCE Nodes=n[11-16]
Do you want to enable SLURM-controlled user-access to the
compute nodes? (y/n) [n]: n

SLURM configuration complete. Press 'Enter' to continue: Enter

By default, all compute nodes in the HP XC system are accessible by any user after
their user accounts have been set up. This prompt enables you to restrict individual
access to each compute node to the user who currently has the compute node
reserved within SLURM.
It is important that you assign a login role to each node on which you expect users
to be able to log in and use the system. If you answer yes here and configure all
nodes with the compute role (the default), but you do not configure any nodes with
the login role, non-root users will not be allowed to log in to the system.
16. Decide whether you want to install LSF as the job management system:
Do you want to install LSF now? (y|n) [y]:
Do one of the following:
• To install LSF, enter y or press the Enter key.
— If you elected to install SLURM in step 14, proceed to step 17 to choose the type of
LSF to install.
— If you did not elect to install SLURM, you cannot choose the type of LSF to install,
and standard LSF is installed automatically. Proceed to step 19.
• If you intend to install another job management system, such as PBS Professional (see
Chapter 7) or the Maui Scheduler (see Chapter 8) enter n. Proceed to step 22.
If at a future time you want to install LSF, rerun the cluster_config utility, and
answer y to this question.
The remainder of this procedure does not describe how to install any other job
management system other than LSF-HPC with SLURM or standard LSF.
17. Decide what type of LSF to install:
There are two types of LSF available to install:
1. Standard LSF: the standard Load Sharing Facility product.
1
2. LSF-HPC integrated with SLURM: the LSF High Performance
Computing solution integrated with SLURM for XC.
Which LSF product would you like to install (1/2)? [2]:
1
If you install standard LSF, you are prompted to install the standard LSF-HPC
(high performance computing) extensions. These extensions convert standard LSF
into standard LSF-HPC and include MPI and mpich features.
Table 3-9 lists the features of LSF-HPC with SLURM and standard LSF to help you decide
the type of LSF to install.
