Standard LSF is also available as an alternative resource management system (instead of
LSF-HPC with SLURM) for HP XC. This is the version of LSF that is widely discussed on
the Platform Web site.
For your convenience, the following Platform Computing Corporation LSF documents are
shipped on the HP XC documentation CD in PDF format:
— Administering Platform LSF
— Administration Primer
— Platform LSF Reference
— Quick Reference Card
— Running Jobs with Platform LSF
LSF procedures and information supplied in the HP XC documentation, particularly the
documentation relating to the LSF-HPC integration with SLURM, supersedes the information
supplied in the LSF manuals from Platform Computing Corporation.
The Platform Computing Corporation LSF manpages are installed by default. lsf_diff(7)
supplied by HP describes LSF command differences when using LSF-HPC with SLURM on
an HP XC system
The following documents in the HP XC System Software Documentation Set provide
