HP XC System 4.x Software manual Examining the Status of a Job

date and time stamp: Started on 4 Hosts/Processors <4*lsfhost.localdomain>;

date and time stamp: slurm_id=22;ncpus=8;slurm_alloc=n[5-8];

Example 10-4illustrates how to use the output obtained using the bhist -lcommand to obtain job allocation information about a job that has run:

Example 10-4 Job Allocation Information for a Finished Job

$ bhist -l 24

Job <24>, User <lsfadmin>, Project <default>,

Interactive pseudo-terminal shell mode,

Extsched <SLURM[nodes=4]>, Command </bin/bash>

date and time stamp: Submitted from host <n2>, to Queue <normal>, CWD <$HOME>,

4 Processors Requested, Requested Resources <type=any>;

date and time stamp: Dispatched to 4 Hosts/Processors <4*lsfhost.localdomain>;

date and time stamp:		slurm_id=22;ncpus=8;slurm_alloc=n[5-8];date and time stamp: Starting (Pid 4785);
date and time stamp:		Done successfully.
The CPU time used is		0.1 seconds;
date and time stamp: Post job process				done successfully;
Summary of time in seconds spent in various states by date and time stamp
PEND	PSUSP	RUN	USUSP	SSUSP	UNKWN	TOTAL
11	0	220	0	0	0	231

In particular, note the node and job allocation information provided in the above output:

date and time stamp: Dispatched to 4 Hosts/Processors <4*lsfhost.localdomain>;

date and time stamp: slurm_id=22;ncpus=8;slurm_alloc=n[5-8];

10.11.2 Examining the Status of a Job

Once a job is submitted, you can use the bjobs command to track the job's progress. The bjobs command reports the status of a job submitted to LSF. By default, bjobs lists only the user's jobs that have not finished or exited.

The following are examples of bjobs command usage, and show the output it produces on an HP XC system. For more information about the bjobs command and its output, see the LSF manpages.

Example 10-5provides abbreviated output of the bjobs command.

Example 10-5 Using the bjobs Command (Short Output)

$ bjobs 24
JOBID	USER	STAT QUEUE	FROM_HOST EXEC_HOST		JOB_NAME	SUBMIT_TIME
24	msmith	RUN normal	n16	lsfhost.localdomain	/bin/bash	date and time

As shown in the previous output, the bjobs command returns information that includes the job id, user name, job status, queue name, submitting host, executing host, job name, and submit time. In this example, the output shows that job /bin/bash was submitted from node n16 and launched on the execution host (lsfhost.localdomain).

Example 10-6provides extended output of the bjobs command.
