setup.config

About setup.config

The setup.config file contains options for License Scheduler installation and configuration for systems without LSF. You only need to edit this file if you are installing License Scheduler as a standalone product without LSF.

Template location

A template setup.config is included in the License Scheduler installation script tar file and is located in the directory created when you uncompress and extract the installation script tar file. Edit the file and uncomment the options you want in the template file. Replace the example values with your own settings to specify the options for your new License Scheduler installation.
Important:

The sample values in the setup.config template file are examples only. They are not default installation values.

After the License Scheduler installation, the setup.config containing the options you specified is located in LS_TOP/9.1/install/.

Format

Each entry in setup.config has the form:
NAME="STRING1 STRING2 ..."

The equal sign = must follow each NAME even if no value follows and there should be no spaces around the equal sign.

A value that contains multiple strings separated by spaces must be enclosed in quotation marks.

Blank lines and lines starting with a pound sign (#) are ignored.

Parameters

  • LS_ADMIN

  • LS_HOSTS

  • LS_LMSTAT_PATH

  • LS_TOP
