Installation architecture
This integration supports both physical and virtual hosts as application hosts.
Mode 1
A typical installation includes the following:
- An LSF® cluster with an LSF master host and LSF compute hosts. The LSF compute hosts act as application hosts.
- One EoD server serves all the application hosts managed through LSF.
- Platform Application Center is installed on the same host as the EoD server.
- LSF/Platform Application Center/EoD high availability is supported when all three products are installed with failover and the LSF master, Platform Application Center web server, and EoD server are on the same host.
- Users access IBM Spectrum LSF Application Center through a web browser on their workstations and are able to remotely visualize 2D/3D interactive applications.
The following diagram illustrates a typical installation in which the head host(in which LSF master host, Platform Application web server, and EoD server is installed) is a physical 64-bit Linux server, and application hosts (LSF compute hosts) are Linux 64-bit hosts. High Availability is supported in this configuration.
Mode 2
A typical installation includes the following:
- An LSF cluster with an LSF master host and LSF compute hosts.
- EoD server is installed on each LSF compute host. The LSF compute hosts act as application hosts.
- LSF/Platform Application Center high availability is supported when both IBM Spectrum LSF Application Center and LSF are installed with failover and the LSF master and Platform Application Center web server are on the same host.
- Users access IBM Spectrum LSF Application Center through a web browser on their workstations and are able to remotely visualize 2D/3D interactive applications.
