View cluster information

About this task

LSF provides commands for users to access information about the cluster.

Procedure

Cluster information includes the cluster master host, cluster name, cluster resource definitions, cluster administrator, and so on.

To view the ...	Run ...
Version of LSF	lsid
Cluster name	lsid
Current master host	lsid
Cluster administrators	lsclusters
Configuration parameters	bparams
LSF system runtime information	badmin showstatus

View LSF version, cluster name, and current master host

Procedure

Run lsid to display the version of LSF, the name of your cluster, and the current master host. For example:

lsid
IBM Platform LSF Standard 9.1.3, May 5 2013 
© Copyright IBM Corporation 1992, 2013.

  by GSA ADP Schedule Contract with IBM Corp.
My cluster name is lsf91_bw3 
My master name is delpe04.lsf.ibm.com

View cluster administrators

Procedure

Run lsclusters to find out who your cluster administrator is and see a summary of your cluster:

lsclusters
CLUSTER_NAME   STATUS   MASTER_HOST    ADMIN        HOSTS     SERVERS
cluster1       ok       hostA          lsfadmin     6         6

If you are using the LSF MultiCluster product, you can see one line for each of the clusters that your local cluster is connected to in the output of lsclusters.

View configuration parameters

Procedure

Run bparams to display the generic configuration parameters of LSF. These include default queues, job dispatch interval, job checking interval, and job accepting interval.
```
bparams
Default Queues:  normal idle
MBD_SLEEP_TIME used for calculations: 20 seconds
Job Checking Interval:  15 seconds
Job Accepting Interval:  20 seconds
```

Run bparams -l to display the information in long format, which gives a brief description of each parameter and the name of the parameter as it appears in lsb.params.

bparams -l
System default queues for automatic queue selection:
    DEFAULT_QUEUE = normal idle
Amount of time in seconds used for calculating parameter values:
    MBD_SLEEP_TIME = 20 (seconds)
The interval for checking jobs by slave batch daemon:
    SBD_SLEEP_TIME = 15 (seconds)
The interval for a host to accept two batch jobs subsequently:
    JOB_ACCEPT_INTERVAL = 1 (* MBD_SLEEP_TIME)
The idle time of a host for resuming pg suspended jobs:
    PG_SUSP_IT = 180 (seconds)
The amount of time during which finished jobs are kept in core:
    CLEAN_PERIOD = 3600 (seconds)
The maximum number of finished jobs that are logged in current event file:
    MAX_JOB_NUM = 2000
The maximum number of retries for reaching a slave batch daemon:
    MAX_SBD_FAIL = 3
The number of hours of resource consumption history:
    HIST_HOURS = 5
The default project assigned to jobs.
    DEFAULT_PROJECT = default
Sync up host status with master LIM is enabled:
LSB_SYNC_HOST_STAT_LIM = Y
MBD child query processes will only run on the following CPUs:
MBD_QUERY_CPUS=1 2 3

Run bparams -a to display all configuration parameters and their values in lsb.params.

For example:

bparams -a
     MBD_SLEEP_TIME = 20
     SBD_SLEEP_TIME = 15
     JOB_ACCEPT_INTERVAL = 1
     SUB_TRY_INTERVAL = 60
     LSB_SYNC_HOST_STAT_LIM =  N
     MAX_JOBINFO_QUERY_PERIOD = 2147483647
     PEND_REASON_UPDATE_INTERVAL = 30

Before you begin

Log on to a server host.

Procedure

Display all configuration settings for running LSF daemons.
- Run lsadmin showconf to display all configured parameters and their values in lsf.conf or ego.conf for LIM.
- Run badmin showconf mbd or badmin showconf sbd to display all configured parameters and their values in lsf.conf or ego.conf for mbatchd and sbatchd.
In a MultiCluster environment, the parameters apply to the local cluster only.
Display mbatchd and root sbatchd configuration.
- Run badmin showconf mbd to display the parameters configured in lsf.conf or ego.conf that apply to mbatchd.
- Run badmin showconf sbd to display the parameters configured in lsf.conf or ego.conf that apply to root sbatchd.
