Viewing host load by host
The lsload command reports the current status and load levels of hosts in a
cluster. The lshosts -l command shows the load thresholds.
The lsmon command provides a dynamic display of the load information. The
LSF administrator can find unavailable or overloaded hosts with these tools.
Run lsload to see load levels for each host. For example:
% lsload
HOST_NAME status r15s r1m r15m ut pg ls it tmp swp mem
hostD ok 1.3 1.2 0.9 92% 0.0 2 20 5M 148M 88M
hostB -ok 0.1 0.3 0.7 0% 0.0 1 67 45M 25M 34M
hostA busy 8.0 *7.0 4.9 84% 4.6 6 17 1M 81M 27M
The first line lists the load index names, and each following line gives the load
levels for one host.
Viewing host architecture information
An LSF cluster may consist of hosts of differing architectures and speeds. 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. For example:
% lshosts
HOST_NAME type model cpuf ncpus maxmem maxswp server RESOURCES
hostD SUNSOL SunSparc 6.0 1 64M 112M Yes (solaris cserver)
hostB ALPHA DEC3000 10.0 1 94M 168M Yes (alpha cserver)
hostM RS6K IBM350 7.0 1 64M 124M Yes (cserver aix)
hostC SGI6 R10K 14.0 16 1024M 1896M Yes (irix cserver)
hostA HPPA HP715 6.0 1 98M 200M Yes (hpux fserver)
In the above example, the host type SUNSOL represents Sun SPARC systems
running Solaris, and SGI6 represents an SGI server running IRIX 6. The
lshosts command also displays the resources available on each host.
