Command Reference Guide

Usage
26 Platform LSF Command Reference
Closes batch server hosts. Specify the names of any server hosts or host groups. All
batch server hosts are closed if the reserved word
all is specified. If no argument is
specified, the local host is assumed. A closed host does not accept any new job, but
jobs already dispatched to the host are not affected. Note that this is different from
a host closed by a window; all jobs on it are suspended in that case.
-C comment
Logs the text as an administrator comment record to lsb.events. The maximum
length of the comment string is 512 characters.
If you close a host group, each host group member displays with the same comment
string.
hghostadd [-C comment] host_group host_name [host_name ...]
If dynamic host configuration is enabled, dynamically adds hosts to a host group, .
After receiving the host information from the master LIM,
mbatchd dynamically
adds the host without triggering a
reconfig.
Once the host is added to the group, it is considered to be part of that group with
respect to scheduling decision making for both newly submitted jobs and for
existing pending jobs.
This command fails if any of the specified host groups or host names are not valid.
RESTRICTION: If EGO-enabled SLA scheduling is configured through ENABLE_DEFAULT_EGO_SLA
in lsb.params, you cannot use hghostadd because all host allocation is under control of
Platform EGO.
-C comment
Logs the text as an administrator comment record to lsb.events. The maximum
length of the comment string is 512 characters.
hghostdel [-f] [-C comment] host_group host_name [host_name ...]
Dynamically deletes hosts from a host group by triggering an mbatchd reconfig
This command fails if any of the specified host groups or host names are not valid.
CAUTION: If you want to change a dynamic host to a static host, first use the command
badmin hghostdel to remove the dynamic host from any host group that it belongs to, and
then configure the host as a static host in lsf.cluster.cluster_name.
RESTRICTION: If EGO-enabled SLA scheduling is configured through ENABLE_DEFAULT_EGO_SLA
in lsb.params, you cannot use hghostdel because all host allocation is under control of
Platform EGO.
hrestart [-f] [host_name ... | all]
Restarts sbatchd on the specified hosts, or on all server hosts if the reserved word
all is specified. If no host is specified, the local host is assumed. sbatchd reruns
itself from the beginning. This allows new
sbatchd binaries to be used.
-f
Disables interaction and does not ask for confirmation for restarting sbatchd.
hshutdown [-f] [host_name ... | all]
