Synopsis

mdiag -p [-t partition] [-v]

Overview

The command hides information about priority components which have been deactivated (ie, by setting the corresponding component priority weight to 0). For each displayed priority component, this command gives a small amount of context sensitive information. The following table documents this information. In all cases, the output is of the form <PERCENT>(<CONTEXT INFO>) where <PERCENT> is the percentage contribution of the associated priority component to the job's total priority.

Note: By default, this command only shows information for jobs which are eligible for immediate execution. Jobs which violate soft or hard policies, or have holds, job dependencies, or other job constraints in place will not be displayed. If priority information is needed for any of these jobs, use the '-v flag or the checkjob command.

The mdiag -p command only displays information for priority components actually utilized. In the above example, QOS, Account Fairshare, and QueueTime components are utilized in determining a job's priority. Other components, such as Service Targets, and Bypass are not used and thus are not displayed. (See the 'Priority Overview' for more information) The output consists of a header, a job by job analysis of jobs, and a summary section.

The header provides column labeling and provides configured priority component and subcomponent weights. In the above example, QOSWEIGHT is set to 1000 and FSWEIGHT is set to 100. When configuring fairshare, a site also has the option of weighting the individual components of a job's overall fairshare, including its user, group, and account fairshare components. In this output, the user, group, and account fairshare weights are set to 5, 1, and 1 respectively.

The job by job analysis displays a job's total priority and the percentage contribution to that priority of each of the priority components. In this example, job 13019 has a total priority of 8699. Both QOS and Fairshare contribute to the job's total priority although these factors are quite small, contributing 0.6% and 0.3% respectively with the fairshare factor being contributed by an account fairshare target. For this job, the dominant factor is the service subcomponent qtime which is contributing 99.1% of the total priority since the job has been in the queue for approximately 8600 minutes.

At the end of the job by job description, a 'Totals' line is displayed which documents the average percentage contributions of each priority component to the current idle jobs. In this example, the QOS, Fairshare, and Service components contributed an average of 0.9%, 0.4%, and 98.7% to the jobs' total priorities.
