Integrating with LSF

The following manual steps will be replaced with a simplified workflow for command line users and alternatively, the Mangement Console (Web UI) is available for login and configuration as a Web UI.

To ensure optimal setup of Infrastructure Optimizer, please make a note of the following information that will be used during installation and integration.

LSF Installation

Please ensure LSF is updated with the latest patch or fix-pack.
LSF_TOP : directory where LSF is installed. There should be a conf and a 10.1 directory here. Each has a resource_connector subdirectory but we will primarily focus on ${LSF_TOP}/10.1/resource_connector.
