LSF Version 7.3 - Administering Platform LSF

Administering Platform LSF 67
Working with Hosts
2 Use bhosts -x to see hosts whose job exit rate has exceeded the threshold for
longer than JOB_EXIT_RATE_DURATION, and are still high. By default,
these hosts are closed the next time LSF checks host exceptions and invokes
eadmin.
If no hosts exceed the job exit rate,
bhosts -x displays:
There is no exceptional host found
View dynamic host information
1 Use lshosts to display information on dynamically added hosts.
An LSF cluster may consist of static and dynamic hosts. The
lshosts command
displays configuration information about hosts. All these parameters are
defined by the LSF administrator in the LSF configuration files, or determined
by the LIM directly from the system.
Host types represent binary compatible hosts; all hosts of the same type can run
the same executable. Host models give the relative CPU performance of
different processors. Server represents the type of host in the cluster. “Yes” is
displayed for LSF servers, “No” is displayed for LSF clients, and “Dyn” is
displayed for dynamic hosts.
For example:
lshosts
HOST_NAME type model cpuf ncpus maxmem maxswp server RESOURCES
hostA SOL64 Ultra60F 23.5 1 64M 112M Yes ()
hostB LINUX86 Opteron8 60.0 1 94M 168M Dyn ()
In the above example, hostA is a static host while hostB is a dynamic host.
