Preparing to install IBM Spectrum LSF RTM on RHEL
Perform this task to prepare to install IBM Spectrum LSF RTM.
Before you begin
Important:
- If you want to enable the SNMP monitor feature in RTM, you must install the PHP-SNMP and NET-SNMP-UTILS packages. For correct installation on RHEL 7.x, 8.x, or (starting in Fix Pack 14) 9.x, download the packages from the Red Hat official site, using your Red Hat Network (RHN) account.
- RTM should not be installed or run on NFS. It will cause stability issues and could lead to data corruption.
- If there is no direct internet access on the RTM host, a local software repository can be used. Consult with your organization’s IT infrastructure team to set up a valid local software repository.
