The LSF Installation

This Vagrant setup installs the version of LSF Community edition that the user provides, but expects version 10.2.0.6. LSF clients are installed to head and ood. head is both the batch and the only compute node.

The LSF quick start: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSWRJV_10.1.0/lsf_offering/lsfce10.1_quick_start.html

Setup

vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest  # only required once, and is not tied to a particular Vagrant file / directory
git clone https://github.com/MorganRodgers/lsf-workbench.git
cd lsf-workbench

Vagrant

Launch and setup the VMs:

vagrant up  # loads head ood

A proper setup requires that the head VM be brought up first.
