2.2.4 Getting Information About System Partitions
You can view information about system partitions with the SLURM sinfo command. The sinfo command
reports the state of all partitions and nodes managed by SLURM and provides a wide variety of filtering,
sorting, and formatting options. The sinfo command displays a summary of available partition and node
(not job) information, such as partition names, nodes per partition, and cores per node).
$ sinfo
For more information about using the sinfo command and a sample of its output, see “Getting Information
About the lsf Partition” (page 92) .
2.2.5 Launching Jobs
To launch a job on an HP XC system, use the LSF bsub command. The bsub command submits batch
jobs or interactive batch jobs to an LSF-HPC queue for execution.
See “Submitting Jobs” (page 47) for full information about launching jobs.
2.2.6 Getting Information About Your Jobs
Use the LSF bjobs and bhist commands to obtain information about your running or completed jobs:

• Use the bhist command to obtain brief or full information about finished jobs ( “Viewing the Historical
Information for a Job” (page 95) )
You can view the components of the actual SLURM allocation command with the LSF bjobs -l and
bhist -l
commands.
