Install LSF License Scheduler standalone (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 lsf7update5_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 lsf7update5_licsched_linux2.4-glibc2.3-x86.tar.Z | tar xvf -

  4. Change to the extracted distribution directory.

    For example:

    # cd lsf7update5_licsched_linux2.4-glibc2.3-x86

  5. Edit the setup.config file and set the parameters you need for installation. You must specify LS_TOP and LS_ADMIN.

    Do not edit setup.config if you are installing LSF License Scheduler to work with Platform LSF.

  6. Run the setup script as root:

    # ./setup

  7. Enter y to confirm that you want to use the administrator list in setup.config for a standalone License Scheduler installation.

    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.
