displays information about resource allocation limits of running jobs

Synopsis

blimits [-w][-n limit_name ...]

[-mhost_name -mhost_group -mcluster_name ...] [-Pproject_name ...] [-qqueue_name ...]

[-uuser_name -uuser_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 (-uoption)

◆Queues (-qoption)

◆Hosts (-moption)

◆Project names (-Poption)

◆Limits (SLOTS, MEM, TMP, SWP, JOBS)

◆Limit configuration (-coption). 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 (-)
