NAME

bhpart - get information about host partitions in the lsbatch system

SYNOPSIS

bhpart [ -h ] [ -V ] [ host_partition_name ... ]

DESCRIPTION

Display information about the host partitions that are specified by host_partition_name ... . The default is to display the information about all the host partitions.

A host partition is a set of hosts within a LSF cluster that are shared among a set of users and user groups. When there is contention for the computing resources in the host partition, the resources will be allocated to the parties according to the shares assigned to each party (see lsbatch(5) ) and the usage of the resources by each party in the recent past (see the explanation for the keyword PRIORITY below). Note that jobs in different queues will not compete with each other for host partition resources. Jobs in high priority queues will always have higher priority to use a host partition than jobs in low priority queues.

The following fields are displayed for each host partition:

HOST_PARTITION_NAME
The name of the host partition.

HOSTS
The name list of the hosts and/or host groups that are members of the host partition. The name of a host group is appended by a `/' (see bmgroup(1) ).

USER/GROUP
The name of a user or a user group (see bugroup(1) ) who has access to the host partition.

SHARES
The number of shares of resources assigned to each user or user group in this host partition, as configured in the file lsb.hosts (see lsbatch(5) ).

STARTED_JOBS
The number of jobs owned by the user or the user group and running or suspended in the host partition.

HIST_CPU_TIME
The accumulated and normalized CPU time used by the user's or the user group's finished jobs that were executed in the host partition in the recent past. The period may be configured in the file lsb.params (see lsbatch(5) ), and has a default value of five hours.

PRIORITY
The priority for the user or user group to use the host partition. Larger values represent higher priorities. Jobs belonging to the user or the user group with the highest priority are considered first for dispatch. In general, the user or user group with a larger SHARES, fewer STARTED_JOBS and a lower HIST_CPU_TIME will have higher PRIORITY.

OPTIONS

-h Print command usage to stderr and exit.

-V Print LSF release version to stderr and exit.

host_partition_name ...
Display the information about the host partitions that are specified by host_partiton_name ... . If no name is specified, then the default is to display information about all the host partitions in the lsbatch system.
