Viewing Cluster Information
LSF provides commands for users to get information about the cluster. Cluster
information includes the cluster master host, cluster name, cluster resource definitions,
cluster administrator, and so on.
Viewing LSF version, cluster name, and current master host
Use the lsid command to display the version of LSF, the name of your cluster, and the
current master host:
% lsid
Platform LSF 6.2, Oct 18 2005
Copyright 1992-2006 Platform Computing Corporation
My cluster name is cluster1
My master name is hostA
Viewing cluster administrators
Use the lsclusters command 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 will see one line for each of the
clusters that your local cluster is connected to in the output of
lsclusters.
Viewing configuration parameters
Use the bparams command to display the generic configuration parameters of LSF.
These include default queues, default host or host model for CPU speed scaling, job
dispatch interval, job checking interval, job accepting interval, etc.
% bparams
Default Queues: normal idle
Default Host Specification: DECAXP
Job Dispatch Interval: 20 seconds
Job Checking Interval: 15 seconds
Job Accepting Interval: 20 seconds
Use the -l option of bparams to display the information in long format, which gives
a brief description of each parameter as well as the name of the parameter as it appears
in
lsb.params.
