Platform LSF Licensing
The lmstat command is in LSF_SERVERDIR. For example:
/usr/share/lsf/lsf_62/7.0/sparc-sol2/etc/lmstat
Run lmstat -a -c LSF_LICENSE_FILE from the FLEXlm license server and also
from the LSF master host. You must use the
-c option of lmstat to specify the path
to the LSF license file.
The output of
lmstat gives the status of:
◆ The license server daemon (lmgrd)
◆ The LSF vendor daemon (lsf_ld)
◆ The number of available licenses for each product in the license file
For example, depending on the LSF features installed, the output of the command
should look something like the following:
lmstat -a -c $LSF_ENVDIR/license.dat

FLEXlm log file
Read this to familiarize yourself with the FLEXlm log file.
The FLEXlm license server daemons log messages about the state of the license
server hosts, and when licenses are checked in or out. This log helps to resolve
problems with the license server hosts and to track license use. The log file grows
over time. You can remove or rename the existing FLEXlm log file at any time.
You must choose a location for the log file when you start the license daemon. If you
already have FLEXlm server running for other products and Platform LSF licenses
are added to the existing license file, then the log messages for FLEXlm should go
to the same log file you set up for other products. If FLEXlm is dedicated to
managing LSF licenses, you can put the FLEXlm log in the same directory as your
other system logs, or in the
/tmp directory.
