IBM Spectrum LSF 10.1 Fix 529245 Readme

Abstract

P103167, P103168. Two issues have been resolved. The first addresses a discrepancy between the output of 'bjobs -prio' and 'bqueues -r <queue_name>' when the queue is configured with the policies FAIRSHARE and APS_PRIORITY. The second issue involves the status of hosts within LSF. If a compute node's name cannot be resolved (eg. misconfigured DNS) LSF would incorrectly set the associated login node as unavailable. This would result in all the associated compute nodes also being unavailable.

System requirements

Installation and configuration

6.1 Before installation

Shutdown LSF on all work load manager (WLM) and launch node (LN) hosts.

Back up the LSF configuration from the conf ($LSF_ENVDIR) directory and any scripts or binary files that you added to the LSF_SERVERDIR directory (for example, customized elims, esubs, stage in pre-scripts, stage in post scripts).

Run rpm -qa| grep lsf to list the currently installed rpm files.

Use yum erase or rpm -evh to unistall the existing LSF packages.
rpm -ev --allmatches -notriggers 'list of filenames as they appear in step 3'

6.2 Installation steps

Download lsf-10.1-529245.ppc64le_csm.bin package

Run lsf-10.1-529245.ppc64le_csm.bin to extract the RPM files. Accept the license agreement when prompted to continue with the file extraction.
lsf-common-10.1-20190905.ppc64le.rpm
lsf-master-10.1-20190905.ppc64le.rpm
lsf-misc-10.1-20190905.ppc64le.rpm
lsf-server-10.1-20190905.ppc64le.rpm
lsf-pythonapi-1.0.6-10.1.0.8.ppc64le.rpm
ibm_smpi-jsm-10.03.00.01rtm3-rh7_20190611.ppc64le.rpm

Use rpm -ivh or yum install commands to deploy the common, server, and master RPM packages. The installation is relocatable (--prefix options supported)

On the work load manager
rpm -ivh lsf-common-10.1-20190905.ppc64le.rpm lsf-server-10.1-20190905.ppc64le.rpm lsf-master-10.1-20190905.ppc64le.rpm

On the launch node
rpm -ivh lsf-common-10.1-20190905.ppc64le.rpm lsf-server-10.1-20190905.ppc64le.rpm

Verify that the installation is successful:
rpm -qa | grep lsf
lsf-server-10.1-20190905.ppc64le.rpm
lsf-common-10.1-20190905.ppc64le.rpm
lsf-master-10.1-20190905.ppc64le.rpm

6.3 After installation

Restore previously backed up LSF conf directory and any customized scripts or binaries in LSF_SERVERDIR

(Optional) Under LSF_TOP:
Rename work.rpmsave to work
Using bash: On each WLM and LN, run the following commands as root:
. /opt/ibm/spectrumcomputing/lsf/conf/profile.lsf
or if you have used the --prefix to define your own LSF_TOP
. /conf/profile.lsf
Start up LSF

6.4 Uninstallation

Shut down LSF on all WLM and LN hosts.
lsf_daemons stop

Back up the LSF conf directory and any customized scripts or binaries as stated in previous steps.

Use yum erase or rpm -evh commands to unistall LSF following the same previous steps.
