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. sinfo displays a summary of available partition and node (not job)
information, such as partition names, nodes per partition, and cores per node).

$ sinfo

Determining the LSF Cluster Name and the LSF Execution Host

The lsid command returns the LSF cluster name, the LSF-HPC version, and the name of the LSF execution
host:

$ lsid

My cluster name is hptclsf

My master name is lsfhost.localdomain

In this example, hptclsf is the LSF cluster name, and lsfhost.localdomain is the name of the virtual
IP address used by the node where LSF-HPC is installed and running (LSF execution host).
