HP XC System Software Installation Guide Version 3.1

4 Verifying the System and Creating a Baseline Record of

the Configuration

Complete the tasks described in this chapter to verify the successful installation and configuration of the

HP XC system components. With the exception of the tasks that are identified as optional, HP recommends

that you perform all tasks in this chapter.

• “Task 1: Verify the LSF Configuration” (page 89)

• “Task 2: Verify Availability Tools” (page 90)

• “Task 3: Run the OVP to Verify Software and Hardware Components” (page 91)

• “Task 4: Use Nagios to View System Health” (page 93)

• “Task 5: Take a Snapshot of the Database” (page 93)

• “Task 6: Create a Baseline Report of the System Configuration” (page 93)

4.1 Task 1: Verify the LSF Configuration

Depending upon the type of LSF you have installed, proceed to one of the following sections to confirm

that licensing is correct, the correct number of available processors are listed (that is, the list matches the

number of processors in the lsf partition), and that the status of the system is shown as ok. Bypass this

task if you did not configure LSF.

• “Verify LSF-HPC with SLURM” (page 89)

• “Verify Standard LSF” (page 89)

4.1.1 Verify LSF-HPC with SLURM

1. Verify that LSF-HPC with SLURM is running:

# lsid

Platform LSF HPC 6.2 for SLURM, LSF_build_date

My cluster name is hptclsf

My master name is lsfhost.localdomain

2. Verify that the lsf partition exists:

# sinfo

PARTITION AVAIL TIMELIMIT NODES STATE NODELIST

lsf up infinite 30 idle n[1-30]

3. Confirm that the ncpus value matches the expected total number of available processors:

# lshosts

HOST_NAME type model cpuf ncpus maxmem maxswp server RESOURCES

lsfhost.loc SLINUX6 Opteron8 60.0 60 3649M - Yes (slurm)

4. Verify the dynamic resource information:

# bhosts

HOST_NAME STATUS JL/U MAX NJOBS RUN SSUSP USUSP RSV

lsfhost.localdomai ok - 60 0 0 0 0 0

5. See the troubleshooting information in the HP XC System Software Administration Guide if you do not

receive a status of ok from the bhosts command.

4.1.2 Verify Standard LSF

1. Verify that standard LSF is running:
