Everyone has to start somewhere. LSF is a great tool, but the depth of it's features will take you a while to fully comprehend. I've been using it now for close to 20 years, and I can tell you I'm still not at the bottom of the hole.

Hi Yi,
Thanks for the quick reaction.
Indeed it is my bad, unfortunately when you are installing it for the first time not all component names and architecture things are clear.
I'm installing the CE to learn, and that is what I did. It is a lot looking at the 3000+ pages in "spectrum-lsf-10.1.0-documentation.pdf."
and I now understand that "Enabling LSF resource connector for Amazon Web Services (AWS)" on page 2781 is not the opposite of something that is disabled.
Sorry,
Andre

Unfortunately that page states it is "FULLY INTEGRATED.....: and only mentions the node and job limitation.
IBM Spectrum LSF Suite Community Edition is a no-charge, fully-integrated solution for High-Performance Computing featuring cluster provisioning and management, workload scheduling, application-centric portal and an MPI library (x86-64 only). The software may be installed using the native installers or the included cluster manager. This edition can be downloaded, installed and used at no charge, and supports up to 10 nodes and 2500 jobs.
Download IBM Spectrum LSF Suite Community Edition, a fully licensed product available at no-charge for the community.
In reality people spent a lot of time on this to discover that it does not support the resource connector.

To add to Larry's comment, there are no fix packs/updates for Community Edition. CE does not include certain features of LSF including resource connector, MultiCluster and advanced scheduling functions.
Regards,
Andre

Hi Nitin,
You will need to review and accept the license agreement. There are some cluster scale limitations in this edition, e.g. number of nodes, max number of cores on each node, max number of jobs to run, etc. You may not be able to use some advanced scheduling features. It would be better if you can share more detail how you want to use LSF.
Regards,
Yi
