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. The lsf_diff(7) manpage
supplied by HP describes LSF command differences when using LSF-HPC with SLURM on an HP
XC system
