HP XC System Software User's Guide Version 3.2

2.3.1 Determining the LSF Cluster Name and the LSF Execution Host

The lsid command returns the LSF cluster name, the LSF-HPC version, and the name of the

LSF execution host:

$ lsid

Platform LSF HPC version number for SLURM, date and time stamp

My cluster name is hptclsf

My master name is lsfhost.localdomain

In this example, hptclsf is the LSF cluster name, and lsfhost.localdomain is the name of

the virtual IP address used by the node where LSF-HPC is installed and running (LSF execution

host).

2.4 Getting System Help and Information

In addition to the hardcopy documentation described in the preface of this document (“About

This Document”), the HP XC system also provides system help and information in the form on

online manpages.

Manpages provide online reference and command information from the system command line.

Manpages are supplied with the HP XC system for standard HP XC components, Linux user

commands, LSF commands, SLURM commands, and other software components that are

distributed with the HP XC system, such as HP-MPI. Manpages for third-party vendor software

components may be provided as a part of the deliverables for that software component.

To access manpages, type the man command with the name of a command. For example:

$ man sinfo

This command accesses the manpage for the SLURM sinfo command.

If you are unsure of the name of the command that you need to reference, you can enter the man

command with the -k option and a keyword, to get a list of commands that are related to the

keyword you entered. For example:

$ man -k keyword

The MANPATH environment variable is a list of directories that the man command uses to find a

manpage. You may need to add to your MANPATH variable to identify the location of manpages

for additional software packages.
