HP XC System 3.x Software - Manual (Page 111)

$ bjobs -l 99 | grep slurm
date and time stamp: slurm_id=123;ncpus=8;slurm_alloc=n[13-16];
The SLURM JOBID is 123 for the LSF JOBID 99.
You can also find the allocation information in the output of the bhist command:
$ bhist -l 99 | grep slurm
date and time stamp: slurm_id=123;ncpus=8;slurm_alloc=n[13-16];
When LSF-HPC creates an allocation in SLURM, it constructs a name for the allocation by
combining the LSF cluster name with the LSF-HPC JOBID. You can see this name with the
scontrol
and sacct commands while the job is running:
$ scontrol show job | grep Name
Name=hptclsf@99
$ sacct -j 123
Jobstep Jobname Partition Ncpus Status Error
---------- ------------------ ---------- ------- ---------- -----
123 hptclsf@99 lsf 8 RUNNING 0
123.0 hptclsf@99 lsf 0 RUNNING 0
In these examples, the job name is hptclsf@99; the LSF job ID is 99.
Note that the scontrol show job command keeps jobs briefly after they finish, then it purges
itself; this is similar with the bjobs command. The sacct command continues to provide job
information after the job has finished; this is similar to bhist command:
$ sacct -j 123
Jobstep Jobname Partition Ncpus Status Error
---------- ------------------ ---------- ------- ---------- -----
123 hptclsf@99 lsf 8 CANCELLED 0
123.0 hptclsf@99 lsf 0 COMPLETED 0
The status of a completed job handled by LSF-HPC is always CANCELLED because LSF-HPC
destroys the allocation that it creates for the job after the user job completes. LSF-HPC performs
the following steps:
• Creates the allocation in SLURM.
• Submits the user job to SLURM.
• Waits for the user job to finish.
• Cancels the allocation in SLURM.
The example shown above had three entries for a completed job. There are at least two entries;
the number of entries depends on the construction of the user job:
• The first entry represents the allocation created by LSF-HPC.
• The second entry, SLURM job step 0, represents the user job that LSF-HPC submits to
SLURM.
• Further entries represent srun or mpirun -srun commands invoked by the user job.
10.13 Working Interactively Within an Allocation
The best way to work interactively on HP XC is to separate the allocation from the interactive
work. In one terminal, submit your allocation request to LSF-HPC with an interactive shell as
the job. For example:
$ bsub -I -n4 -ext "SLURM[nodes=4]" /bin/bash
Job <124> is submitted to the default queue .
<>
<>
The bsub command requests 4 nodes and runs /bin/bash on the first allocated node. If resources
are not immediately available, the terminal pauses at <>. When
<
displays, the resources are allocated and /bin/bash is running.
To gather information about this allocation, run the following command in this first terminal
(note there is no prompt from the /bin/bash process):
