bhosts show a host in "unreach" status?

Troubleshooting


Problem

Why does the bhosts command show a host in "unreach" status?

Resolving The Problem

When bhosts reports a host as "unreach" or unreachable, it refers to an LSF server host where the LSF lim daemon is running, while sbatchd is not. Check if sbatchd is running on the "unreach" host by following these steps:

  1. Log-on to the "unreach" host
  2. Check if root sbatchd is running. For example,

    $ ps -ef | grep sbatchd
    lsfadmin 23838 20183 0 09:38 pts/0 00:00:00 grep sbatchd

If it is not running there, startup sbatchd by running this command on that host as the LSF administrator user:
$ badmin hstartup

If the host keeps going back into "unreach" state and sbatchd keeps exiting on its own every time you start it up, check that host's sbatchd log (by default located in LSF_TOP/log/) for any error that indicates why it may be exiting and try to fix that. Also, check system logs on that host to see if sbatchd is crashing.
