32 Platform LSF Command Reference
Running badmin showconf from a master candidate host reaches all server hosts
in the cluster. Running
badmin showconf from a slave-only host may not be able to
reach other slave-only hosts.
badmin showconf only displays the values used by LSF.
For example, if you define LSF_MASTER_LIST in
lsf.conf, and
EGO_MASTER_LIST in
ego.conf, badmin showconf displays the value of
EGO_MASTER_LIST.
badmin showconf displays the value of EGO_MASTER_LIST from wherever it is
defined. You can define either LSF_MASTER_LIST or EGO_MASTER_LIST in
lsf.conf. LIM reads lsf.conf first, and ego.conf if EGO is enabled in the LSF
cluster. The value of LSF_MASTER_LIST is displayed only if EGO_MASTER_LIST
is not defined at all in
ego.conf.
For example, if EGO is enabled in the LSF cluster, and you define
LSF_MASTER_LIST in
lsf.conf, and EGO_MASTER_LIST in ego.conf,
badmin showconf displays the value of EGO_MASTER_LIST in ego.conf.
If EGO is disabled,
ego.conf not loaded, so whatever is defined in lsf.conf is
displayed.
perfmon start [sample_period] | stop | view | setperiod sample_period
Dynamically enables and controls scheduler performance metric collection.
Collecting and recording performance metric data may affect the performance of
LSF. Smaller sampling periods results in the
lsb.streams file growing faster.
The following metrics are collected and recorded in each sample period:
◆ The number of queries handled by mbatchd
◆ The number of queries for each of jobs, queues, and hosts. (bjobs, bqueues,
and
bhosts, as well as other daemon requests)
◆ The number of jobs submitted (divided into job submission requests and jobs
actually submitted)
◆ The number of jobs dispatched
◆ The number of jobs completed
◆ The numbers of jobs sent to remote cluster
◆ The numbers of jobs accepted by from cluster
start [sample_period]
Start performance metric collection dynamically and specifies an optional
sampling period in seconds for performance metric collection.
If no sampling period is specified, the default period set in
SCHED_METRIC_SAMPLE_PERIOD in lsb.params is used.
stop
Stop performance metric collection dynamically.
