5. Installation and configuration

Before you install

LSF_TOP is the full path to the top-level installation directory of LSF.

1. Before you apply this fix, make sure that you installed LSF 10.1 Fix Pack 12 or later. You can download LSF 10.1 Fix Pack 12 from https://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral. Search for build600488. Contact IBM LSF Support if you have any questions or problems with installing Fix Pack 12.

2. Starting in LSF 10.1 Fix Pack 13, the default values of the following three GPU parameters are changed to:
LSF_GPU_AUTOCONFIG=Y
LSB_GPU_NEW_SYNTAX=extend
LSF_GPU_RESOURCE_IGNORE=Y

If you have Fix Pack 13 installed, if these GPU parameters are not configured in the lsf.conf configuration file, LSF will take the default values, and the parameters already configured in the lsf.conf file will not be affected.

If you want to keep the former GPU behavior, and if any of the three parameters are missing in the lsf.conf configuration file, you must explicitly configure the following default settings that are defined in Fix Pack 12 or earlier:
LSF_GPU_AUTOCONFIG=N
LSB_GPU_NEW_SYNTAX=N
LSF_GPU_RESOURCE_IGNORE=N

3. Log on to the LSF management host as the LSF primary administrator.
