Usage

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.
