Troubleshooting and Error Messages
UNKNOWN host type or model
Viewing UNKNOWN host type or model
1 Run lshosts. A model or type UNKNOWN indicates the host is down or the
LIM on the host is down. You need to take immediate action. For example:
lshosts
HOST_NAME type model cpuf ncpus maxmem maxswp server RESOURCES
hostA UNKNOWN Ultra2 20.2 2 256M 710M Yes ()
Fixing UNKNOWN matched host type or matched model
1 Start the host.
2 Run
lsadmin limstartup to start LIM on the host.
For example:
lsadmin limstartup hostA
Starting up LIM on <hostA> .... done
or, if EGO is enabled in the LSF cluster, you can also run:
egosh ego start lim hostA
Starting up LIM on <hostA> .... done
You can specify more than one host name to start up LIM on multiple hosts. If
you do not specify a host name, LIM is started up on the host from which the
command is submitted.
On UNIX, in order to start up LIM remotely, you must be root or listed in
lsf.sudoers (or ego.sudoers if EGO is enabled in the LSF cluster) and be
able to run the
rsh command across all hosts without entering a password.
3 Wait a few seconds, then run
lshosts again. You should now be able to see a
specific model or type for the host or DEFAULT. If you see DEFAULT, it means
that automatic detection of host type or model has failed, and the host type
configured in
lsf.shared cannot be found. LSF will work on the host, but a
DEFAULT model may be inefficient because of incorrect CPU factors. A
DEFAULT type may also cause binary incompatibility because a job from a
DEFAULT host type can be migrated to another DEFAULT host type.

If you see DEFAULT in lim -t, it means that automatic detection of host type or
model has failed, and the host type configured in
lsf.shared cannot be found. LSF
