.TH SINFO "1" "September 2008" "sinfo 1.4" "Slurm components"
.SH "NAME"
sinfo \- view information about SLURM nodes and partitions.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
\fBsinfo\fR [\fIOPTIONS\fR...]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
\fBsinfo\fR is used to view partition and node information for a
system running SLURM.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.TP
\fB\-a\fR, \fB\-\-all\fR
Display information about all partions. This causes information to be
displayed about partitions that are configured as hidden and partitions that
are unavailable to user's group.
.TP
\fB\-b\fR, \fB\-\-bgl\fR
Display information about bglblocks (on Blue Gene systems only).
.TP
\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-dead\fR
If set only report state information for non\-responding (dead) nodes.
.TP
\fB\-e\fR, \fB\-\-exact\fR
If set, do not group node information on multiple nodes unless
their configurations to be reported are identical. Otherwise
cpu count, memory size, and disk space for nodes will be listed
with the minimum value followed by a "+" for nodes with the
same partition and state (e.g., "250+").
.TP
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-noheader\fR
Do not print a header on the output.
.TP
\fB\-\-help\fR
Print a message describing all \fBsinfo\fR options.
.TP
\fB\-\-hide\fR
Do not display information about hidden partitions. By default, partitions
that are configured as hidden or are not available to the user's group
will not be displayed (i.e. this is the default behavior).
.TP
\fB\-i <seconds>\fR, \fB\-\-iterate=<seconds>\fR
Print the state on a periodic basis.
Sleep for the indicated number of seconds between reports.
By default, prints a time stamp with the header.
.TP
\fB\-l\fR, \fB\-\-long\fR
Print more detailed information.
This is ignored if the \fB\-\-format\fR option is specified.
.TP
\fB\-n <nodes>\fR, \fB\-\-nodes=<nodes>\fR
Print information only about the specified node(s).
Multiple nodes may be comma separated or expressed using a
node range expression. For example "linux[00\-07]" would
indicate eight nodes, "linux00" through "linux07."
.TP
\fB\-N\fR, \fB\-\-Node\fR
Print information in a node\-oriented format.
The default is to print information in a partition\-oriented format.
This is ignored if the \fB\-\-format\fR option is specified.
.TP
\fB\-o <output_format>\fR, \fB\-\-format=<output_format>\fR
Specify the information to be displayed using an \fBsinfo\fR
format string. Format strings transparently used by \fBsinfo\fR
when running with various options are
.RS

.IP
The field specifications available include:
.RS
.TP 4
\fB%a\fR
State/availability of a partition
.TP
\fB%A\fR
Number of nodes by state in the format "allocated/idle".
Do not use this with a node state option ("%t" or "%T") or
the different node states will be placed on separate lines.
.TP
\fB%c\fR
Number of CPUs per node
.TP
\fB%C\fR
Number of CPUs by state in the format
"allocated/idle/other/total". Do not use this with a node
state option ("%t" or "%T") or the different node states will
be placed on separate lines.
.TP
\fB%d\fR
Size of temporary disk space per node in megabytes
.TP
\fB%D\fR
Number of nodes
.TP
\fB%E\fR
The reason a node is unavailable (down, drained, or draining states).
This is the same as \fB%R\fR except the entries will be sorted by
time rather than the reason string.
.TP
\fB%f\fR
Features associated with the nodes
.TP
\fB%F\fR
Number of nodes by state in the format
"allocated/idle/other/total". Do not use this with a node
state option ("%t" or "%T") or the different node states will
be placed on separate lines.
.TP
\fB%g\fR
Groups which may use the nodes
.TP
\fB%h\fR
Jobs may share nodes, "yes", "no", or "force"
.TP
\fB%l\fR
Maximum time for any job in the format "days\-hours:minutes:seconds"
.TP
\fB%m\fR
Size of memory per node in megabytes
.TP
\fB%N\fR
List of node names
.TP
\fB%P\fR
Partition name
.TP
\fB%r\fR
Only user root may initiate jobs, "yes" or "no"
.TP
\fB%R\fR
The reason a node is unavailable (down, drained, draining,
fail or failing states)
.TP
\fB%s\fR
Maximum job size in nodes
.TP
\fB%t\fR
State of nodes, compact form
.TP
\fB%T\fR
State of nodes, extended form
.TP

.TP
\fB%Y\fR
Number of cores per socket
.TP
\fB%Z\fR

.TP
\fB%.<*>\fR
right justification of the field
.TP
\fB%<Number><*>\fR
size of field
.RE
.TP
\fB\-p <partition>\fR, \fB\-\-partition=<partition>\fR
Print information only about the specified partition.
.TP
\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-responding\fR
If set only report state information for responding nodes.
.TP
\fB\-R\fR, \fB\-\-list\-reasons\fR
List reasons nodes are in the down, drained, fail or failing state.
When nodes are in these states SLURM supports optional inclusion
of a "reason" string by an administrator.
This option will display the first 35 characters of the reason
field and list of nodes with that reason for all nodes that are,
by default, down, drained, draining or failing.
This option may be used with other node filtering options
(e.g. \fB\-r\fR, \fB\-d\fR, \fB\-t\fR, \fB\-n\fR),
however, combinations of these options that result in a
list of nodes that are not down or drained or failing will
not produce any output.
When used with \fB\-l\fR the output additionally includes
the current node state.
.TP
\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-summarize\fR
List only a partition state summary with no node state details.
This is ignored if the \fB\-\-format\fR option is specified.
.TP
\fB\-S <sort_list>\fR, \fB\-\-sort=<sort_list>\fR
Specification of the order in which records should be reported.
This uses the same field specifciation as the <output_format>.
Multiple sorts may be performed by listing multiple sort fields
separated by commas. The field specifications may be preceeded
by "+" or "\-" for assending (default) and desending order
respectively. The partition field specification, "P", may be
preceeded by a "#" to report partitions in the same order that
they appear in SLURM's configuration file, \fBslurm.conf\fR.
For example, a sort value of "+P,\-m" requests that records
be printed in order of increasing partition name and within a
partition by decreasing memory size. The default value of sort
is "#P,\-t" (partitions ordered as configured then decreasing
node state). If the \fB\-\-Node\fB option is selected, the
default sort value is "N" (increasing node name).
.TP
\fB\-t <states>\fR , \fB\-\-states=<states>\fR
List nodes only having the given state(s). Multiple states
may be comma separated and the comparison is case insensitive.
Possible values include (case insensitive): ALLOC, ALLOCATED,
COMP, COMPLETING, DOWN, DRAIN, DRAINED, DRNG, DRAINING, FAIL,
FAILING, IDLE, UNK, and UNKNOWN.
By default nodes in the specified state are reported whether
they are responding or not.
The \fB\-\-dead\fR and \fB\-\-responding\fR options may be
used to filtering nodes by the responding flag.
.TP
\fB\-\-usage\fR
Print a brief message listing the \fBsinfo\fR options.
.TP
\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR
Provide detailed event logging through program execution.
.TP
\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
Print version information and exit.
.SH "OUTPUT FIELD DESCRIPTIONS"
.TP
\fBAVAIL\fR

node count are the same. \fBinfinite\fR is used to identify
partitions without a maximum node count.
.TP

.TP
\fBNODELIST\fR or \fBBP_LIST\fR (BlueGene systems only)
Names of nodes associated with this configuration/partition.
.TP
\fBNODES\fR
Count of nodes with this particular configuration.
.TP
\fBNODES(A/I)\fR
Count of nodes with this particular configuration by node
state in the form "available/idle".
.TP
\fBNODES(A/I/O/T)\fR
Count of nodes with this particular configuration by node
state in the form "available/idle/other/total".
.TP
\fBPARTITION\fR
Name of a partition. Note that the suffix "*" identifies the
default partition.
.TP
\fBROOT\fR
Is the ability to allocate resources in this partition
restricted to user root, \fByes\fR or \fBno\fR.
.TP
\fBSHARE\fR
Will jobs allocated resources in this partition share those
resources.
\fBno\fR indicates resources are never shared.
\fBexclusive\fR indicates whole nodes are dedicated to jobs
(equivalent to srun \-\-exclusive option, may be used even
with shared/cons_res managing individual processors).
\fBforce\fR indicates resources are always available to be shared.
\fByes\fR indicates resource may be shared or not
per job's resource allocation.
.TP
\fBSTATE\fR
State of the nodes.
Possible states include: allocated, completing, down,
drained, draining, fail, failing, idle, and unknown plus
their abbreviated forms: alloc, comp, donw, drain, drng,
fail, failg, idle, and unk respectively.
Note that the suffix "*" identifies nodes that are presently
not responding.
.TP
\fBTMP_DISK\fR
Size of temporary disk space in megabytes on these nodes.
.SH "NODE STATE CODES"
.PP
Node state codes are shortened as required for the field size.
If the node state code is followed by "*", this indicates the
node is presently not responding and will not be allocated
any new work. If the node remains non\-responsive, it will
be placed in the \fBDOWN\fR state (except in the case of
\fBCOMPLETING\fR, \fBDRAINED\fR, \fBDRAINING\fR,
\fBFAIL\fR, \fBFAILING\fR nodes).
If the node state code is followed by "~", this indicates
the node is presently in a power saving mode (typically
running at reduced frequency).
.TP 12
\fBALLOCATED\fR
The node has been allocated to one or more jobs.
.TP
\fBALLOCATED+\fR
The node is allocated to one or more active jobs plus
one or more jobs are in the process of COMPLETING.
.TP
\fBCOMPLETING\fR
All jobs associated with this node are in the process of
COMPLETING. This node state will be removed when
all of the job's processes have terminated and the SLURM
epilog program (if any) has terminated. See the \fBEpilog\fR
parameter description in the \fBslurm.conf\fR man page for
more information.
.TP
\fBDOWN\fR
The node is unavailable for use. SLURM can automatically
place nodes in this state if some failure occurs. System
administrators may also explicitly place nodes in this state. If
a node resumes normal operation, SLURM can automatically
return it to service. See the \fBReturnToService\fR
and \fBSlurmdTimeout\fR parameter descriptions in the
\fBslurm.conf\fR(5) man page for more information.
.TP
\fBDRAINED\fR
The node is unavailable for use per system administrator
request. See the \fBupdate node\fR command in the
\fBscontrol\fR(1) man page or the \fBslurm.conf\fR(5) man page
for more information.
.TP
\fBDRAINING\fR
The node is currently executing a job, but will not be allocated
to additional jobs. The node state will be changed to state
\fBDRAINED\fR when the last job on it completes. Nodes enter
this state per system administrator request. See the \fBupdate
node\fR command in the \fBscontrol\fR(1) man page or the
\fBslurm.conf\fR(5) man page for more information.
.TP
\fBFAIL\fR
The node is expected to fail soon and is unavailable for
use per system administrator request.
See the \fBupdate node\fR command in the \fBscontrol\fR(1)
man page or the \fBslurm.conf\fR(5) man page for more information.
.TP
\fBFAILING\fR
The node is currently executing a job, but is expected to fail
soon and is unavailable for use per system administrator request.
See the \fBupdate node\fR command in the \fBscontrol\fR(1)
man page or the \fBslurm.conf\fR(5) man page for more information.
.TP
\fBIDLE\fR
The node is not allocated to any jobs and is available for use.
.TP
\fBUNKNOWN\fR
The SLURM controller has just started and the node's state
has not yet been determined.
.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
