Overview

This command shows detailed state information and statistics for nodes that run jobs.

The following information is returned by this command:

Name	Description
Disk	Disk space available
Memory	Memory available
Swap	Swap space available
State	Node state
Opsys	Operating system
Arch	Architecture
Adapters	Network adapters available
Features	Features available
Classes	Classes available
StateTime	Time node has been in current state in HH:MM:SS notation
Downtime	Displayed only if downtime is scheduled
Load	CPU Load (Berkley one-minute load average)
TotalTime	Total time node has been detected since statistics initialization expressed in HH:MM:SS notation
UpTime	Total time node has been in an available (Non-Down) state since statistics initialization expressed in HH:MM:SS notation (percent of time up: UpTime/TotalTime)
ActiveTime	Total time node has been busy (allocated to active jobs) since statistics initialization expressed in HH:MM:SS notation (percent of time busy: BusyTime/TotalTime)
EffNodeAccessPolicy	Configured effective node access policy

After displaying this information, some analysis is performed and any unusual conditions are reported.

Access

By default, this command can be run by any Moab Administrator (see ADMINCFG).

Parameters

Name	Description
NODE	Node name you want to check. Moab uses regular expressions to return any node that contains the provided argument. For example, if you ran checknode node1, Moab would return information about node1, node10, node100, etc. If you want to limit the results to node1 only, you would run checknode "^node1$".

Flags

Name	Description
ALL	Returns checknode output on all nodes in the cluster.
-h	Help for this command.
-v	Returns verbose output.
--xml	Output in XML format. Same as mdiag -n --xml.
