We use the following to check the status of a compute node. We must ensure that the following is defined in the environment

YOD_STANDALONE=1
PTL_NAL_TYPE=UKSS

We now can ping our compute nodes to ensure they are up and running. The ping_node command takes the phyical node ID of the compute node in question. Node physical id's can be found in the nodelist file.

Ping compute node id: 75

rsclogin112:/home/kbferre $ ping_node -v -n 75

Typical Output

Note: The root filesystem for the Linux service Node is mounted from rscswm2:/rr/current_2.6. Therefore any utilities needed should be copied to that location as well as any administrative issues can be handled there. Furthermore /home is mounted from rcs-c2

Open a console on Node 68 on cage cx24y2c2
