Lustre 1.6 Operations Manual

new_session [--timeout SECONDS] [--force] NAME
Creates a new session.
–-timeout SECONDS
--force
name
Console timeout value of the session. The session ends
automatically if it remains idle (i.e., no commands are issued) for
this period.
Ends conflicting sessions. This determines who “wins” when one
session conflicts with another. For example, if there is already an
active session on this node, then this attempt to create a new
session fails unless the -force flag is specified. However, if the -
force flag is specified, then the other session is ended. Similarly,
if this session attempts to add a node that is already “owned” by
another session, the -force flag allows this session to “steal” the
node.
A human-readable string to print when listing sessions or
reporting session conflicts.
$ export LST_SESSION=$$
$ lst new_session --force liangzhen
end_session
Stops all operations and tests in the current session and clears the session’s status.
$ lst end_session
show_session
Shows the session information. This command prints information about the current
session. It does not require LST_SESSION to be defined in the process environment.
$ lst show_session
