Host States
Host States
Host states describe the ability of a host to accept and run batch jobs in terms
of daemon states, load levels, and administrative controls. The bhosts and
lsload commands display host states.
bhosts
Displays the current state of the host:
STATUS
ok
unavail
unreach
closed
unlicensed
Description
Host is available to accept and run new batch jobs.
Host is down, or LIM and sbatchd are unreachable.
LIM is running but sbatchd is unreachable.
Host will not accept new jobs. Use bhosts -l to display the reasons.
Host does not have a valid license.
bhosts -l
Displays the closed reasons. A closed host will not accept new batch jobs:
STATUS
closed_Adm
closed_Busy
closed_Excl
closed_Full
closed_LIM
closed_Lock
closed_Wind
Description
An LSF administrator or root explicitly closed the host using badmin
hclose. Running jobs are not affected.
The value of a load index exceeded a threshold (configured in
lsb.hosts, displayed by bhosts -l). Running jobs are not affected.
Indices that exceed thresholds are identified with an asterisk (*).
An exclusive batch job (i.e., bsub -x) is running on the host.
The configured maximum number of running jobs has been
reached. Running jobs will not be affected.
sbatchd is running but LIM is unavailable.
An LSF administrator or root explicitly locked the host using
lsadmin limlock. Running jobs are suspended (SSUSP).
Host is closed by a dispatch window defined in lsb.hosts. Running
jobs are not affected.
