View available queues and queue status

Procedure

Run bqueues. You can view the current status of a particular queue or all queues. The bqueues command also displays available queues in the cluster.

A dash (-) in any entry means that the column does not apply to the row. In this example no queues have per-queue, per-user, per-processor, or per host job limits configured, so the MAX, JL/U, JL/P, and JL/H entries are shown as a dash.

Job slots required by parallel jobs

Important:

A parallel job with N components requires N job slots.
