Downloading and installing the CSM integration package

Download and install the integration package to run LSF with CSM for IBM POWER.

Procedure

  1. Download the installation package for the LSF integration with CSM.

    The installation package is lsf-10.1.0-build_number.ppc64le_csm.bin.

  2. Run the installation package to extract the Rational Portfolio Manager files.

    ./lsf-10.1-build_number.ppc64le_csm.bin

    Accept the license agreement when prompted to continue with the file extraction.

    The extracted installation package contains the following RPM files:

    • lsf-common-10.1.0-yyyyddmm.ppc64le.rpm
    • lsf-master-10.1.0-yyyyddmm.ppc64le.rpm
    • lsf-misc-10.1.0-yyyyddmm.ppc64le.rpm
    • lsf-server-10.1.0-yyyyddmm.ppc64le.rpm
    • ibm_smpi-jsm-10.03.00.00rtm1-rh7_yyyyddmm.ppc64le.rpm

    In the RPM files, yyyyddmm is the build date.

  3. Deploy the common, server, and master RPM packages on the CSM hosts.
    1. On the work load manager node (WLM), use the rpm -ivh or yum install commands to deploy the common, server, and master packages.

      By default, the package is installed to the /opt/ibm/spectrumcomputing/lsf/ directory.

      You can use the --prefix option to change this installation directory.

      rpm -ivh lsf-common-10.1.0-yyyyddmm.ppc64le.rpm lsf-server-10.1.0-build_number.ppc64le.rpm lsf-master-10.1.0-build_number.ppc64le.rpm
    2. On the launch node (LN), use the rpm -ivh or yum install commands to deploy the common and server packages.

      By default, the package is installed to the /opt/ibm/spectrumcomputing/lsf/ directory.

      You can use the --prefix option to change this installation directory.

      rpm -ivh lsf-common-10.1.0-yyyyddmm.ppc64le.rpm lsf-server-10.1.0-build_number.ppc64le.rpm\
  4. Verify that the installation is successful.
    1. Verify that the LSF packages are installed.
    rpm -qa | grep lsf
    lsf-server-10.1.0-yyyyddmm.ppc64le
    lsf-common-10.1.0-yyyyddmm.ppc64le
    lsf-master-10.1.0-yyyyddmm.ppc64le

    Run the rpm -qi command to find the build number in the package description.

  5. Copy the entitlement file to the conf/lsf.entitlement sub-directory of the installation directory.
    • If you installed the packages with the default installation directory, copy the entitlement file to the /opt/ibm/spectrumcomputing/lsf/conf/lsf.entitlement directory.
    • If you specified a custom installation directory, copy the entitlement file to the conf/lsf.entitlement sub-directory of the directory that you specified with the --prefix installation option.
