HP XC System Software Installation Guide Version 2.1

3. Complete this step for systems installed with an InfiniBand interconnect; skip this step

for all other interconnect types.

Create a list of all nodes in the XC system. The InfiniBand diagnostic tools requires this

list of nodes in order to function properly:

# shownode all > /usr/voltaire/scripts/HCA400-Checks/node-list

Proceed to Section 4.11 to start LSF HPC.

4.11 Start LSF HPC

Follow this pro cedure to start LSF HPC:

1. Begin this procedure as the root user on the head node.

2. Set up the LSF HPC environment by sourcing the LSF profile file:

# . /opt/hptc/lsf/top/conf/profile.lsf

3. Verify that the LSF H PC profile file has been sourced by finding an LSF com mand:

# which lsid

/opt/hptc/lsf/top/6.0/linux2.4-glibc2.3-amd64-slurm/bin/lsid

_______________________ Note _______________________

This sample output was obtained from an Opteron -based system. T hus, the

directory name linux2.4-glibc2.3-amd64-slurm is included in

the path ( the string amd64 sig nif ies an Opteron-based architecture). W hen

configuring an Itanium–based system, the string ia64 is included in the

directory name instead.

4. Verify that the lsf partition exists:

# sinfo

PARTITION AVAIL TIMELIMIT NODES STATE NODELIST

lsf up infinite 3 idle n[14-16]

5. Start LSF HPC:

# service lsf start

6. Wait a few second s for the LSF daemons to stabilize, and run the followin g commands

to confirm licensing is correct, the correct number of available processors are listed (it

should match the number of processors in the lsf partition), and that the status of the

system is shown as ok:

a. Verify that LSF HPC is running:

# lsid

Platform LSF HPC HPC 6.0 for SLURM, Sep 23 2004

My cluster name is hptclsf

My master name is lsfhost.localdomain

b. Verify the static resource information:

# lshosts

HOST_NAME type model cpuf ncpus maxmem maxswp server RESOURCES

lsfhost.loc SLINUX6 Opteron8 60.0 6 1M - Yes (slurm)

c. Verify the dynamic resource information:

# bhosts

HOST_NAME STATUS JL/U MAX NJOBS RUN SSUSP USUSP RSV

lsfhost.localdomai ok - 6 0 0000
