Checking LSF Status
Platform LSF Administrator’s Primer

Finding out cluster status (lsid and lsload)
lsid
Tells you if your LSF environment is set up properly. lsid displays the current LSF
version number, cluster name, and host name of the current LSF master host for your
cluster.
The LSF master name displayed by
lsid may vary, but it is usually the first host
configured in the
Hosts section of
LSF_CONFDIR/lsf.cluster.cluster_name.
% lsid

My cluster name is lsf_62
My master name is hosta
If you see the message
Cannot open lsf.conf file
the LSF_ENVDIR environment variable is probably not set correctly. Use cshrc.lsf
or
profile.lsf to set up your environment. See “Top 10 LSF problems” on page 55
for additional help.
lsload
Displays the current load levels of the cluster. The output contains one line for each host
in the cluster. The status should be
ok for all hosts in your cluster. For example:
% lsload
HOST_NAME status r15s r1m r15m ut pg ls it tmp swp mem
hostn ok 0.0 0.0 0.1 1% 0.0 1 224 43M 67M 3M
hostk -ok 0.0 0.0 0.0 3% 0.0 3 0 38M 40M 7M
hostg busy *6.2 6.9 9.5 85% 1.1 30 0 5M 400M 385M
hostf busy 0.1 0.1 0.3 7% *17 6 0 9M 23M 28M
hostv unavail
A busy status is shown for hosts with any load index beyond its configured thresholds.
An asterisk (
*) marks load indices that are beyond their thresholds, causing the host
status to be
busy. A minus sign (-) in front of the value ok means that res is not
running on that host.
If you see the message
lsid: ls_getclustername() failed: LIM is down; try later
or
LSF daemon (LIM) not responding ... still trying
after starting or reconfiguring LSF, wait a few seconds and try lsload again to give lim
on all hosts time to initialize. If the problem persists, see “Top 10 LSF problems” on
page 55 for help.
lsload also shows if LSF is licensed for the host. If you see the message
Host does not have a software license
you must install a valid LSF license or make sure that the license server is running
properly. See “Top 10 LSF problems” on page 55 for more help with this error. See
“About LSF Licenses” on page 40 for more information about LSF licenses.
