8 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 the following order:

1. “Verifying the LSF Configuration” (page 129)

2. “Verifying Availability Tools” (page 130)

3. “Running the OVP to Verify Software and Hardware Components” (page 131)

4. “Running the SVA OVP Utility” (page 133)

5. “Viewing System Health” (page 133)

6. “Creating a Baseline Copy of the Database” (page 134)

7. “Creating a Baseline Report of the System Configuration” (page 135)

8.1 Verifying 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. Omit this task if you did not configure LSF.

• “Verifying LSF with SLURM” (page 129)

• “Verifying Standard LSF” (page 129)

8.1.1 Verifying LSF with SLURM

1. Verify that LSF with SLURM is running:

# lsid

Platform LSF 7 Update 3 for SLURM, LSF_build_date

My cluster name is hptclsf

My master name is lsfhost.localdomain

2. Verify that the lsf partition exists and all nodes are in the idle state:

# sinfo

PARTITION AVAIL TIMELIMIT NODES STATE NODELIST

lsf up infinite 30 idle n[1-30]

If nodes are reported as being in the down state, see Section 14.6 (page 183) for more

information.

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.

8.1.2 Verifying Standard LSF

1. Verify that standard LSF is running:
