blimits
displays information about resource allocation limits of running jobs
Synopsis
blimits [-w] [-n limit_name ...]
[-m host_name | -m host_group | -m cluster_name ...]
[-P project_name ...] [-q queue_name ...]
[-u user_name | -u user_group ...]
blimits -c
blimits -h | -V
Description
Displays current usage of resource allocation limits configured in Limit sections in
lsb.resources:
◆ Configured limit policy name
◆ Users (-u option)
◆ Queues (-q option)
◆ Hosts (-m option)
◆ Project names (-P option)
◆ Limits (SLOTS, MEM, TMP, SWP, JOBS)
◆ Limit configuration (-c option). This is the same as bresources with no
options.
Resources that have no configured limits or no limit usage are indicated by a dash
(-). Limits are displayed in a USED/LIMIT format. For example, if a limit of 10 slots
is configured and 3 slots are in use, then
blimits displays the limit for SLOTS as
3/10.
Note that if there are no jobs running against resource allocation limits, LSF
indicates that there is no information to be displayed:
No resource usage found.
If limits MEM, SWP, or TMP are configured as percentages, both the limit and the
amount used are displayed in MB. For example,
lshosts displays maxmem of 249
MB, and MEM is limited to 10% of available memory. If 10 MB out of 25 MB are
used,
blimits displays the limit for MEM as 10/25 (10 MB USED from a 25 MB
LIMIT).
Limits are displayed for both the vertical tabular format and the horizontal format
for Limit sections. If a vertical format Limit section has no name,
blimits displays
NONAMEnnn under the NAME column for these limits, where the unnamed
limits are numbered in the order the vertical-format Limit sections appear in the
lsb.resources file.
If a resource consumer is configured as
all, the limit usage for that consumer is
indicated by a dash (-)
