The LSF System Monitor view shows a graphical picture of the target system configuration. This view shows the master node's name in the tab's title, for example "system: k7.pok.ibm.com". The remaining diagram consists of an array of boxes where each box represents one node in the cluster (at the highest detailed view). By default when the mouse is placed over one of these boxes when nothing is running on it (the color is white) the flyover/tooltip text displays "Idle". When something is running (the color is non-white) the flyover/tooltip text displays "Job: ####". REQUEST: Although knowing the state of a node "Idle" or "Job: ###" is useful it would be more useful to have additional information especially the hostname included in this flyover/tooltip, such as, "Node: c141f21ap17n01". Also The diagram does not contain any row or column headers to help communicate the graphical presentation and they too would be useful. Note: I do not know if this request is only representative of the LSF System Monitor view or can be applied to other target system configuration types.

It would be possible to provide the hostname in the tooltip. Therefore, two things have to be adjusted: LML_DA currently does not transfer any node data to the monitoring client, since it is not displayed so far. The node data has to be added to the transferred LML file. The second adjustment is the generation of the tooltip. The reference to the focused compute node has to be extracted and added to the tooltip text. > Also The diagram does not contain any row or column headers to help > communicate the graphical presentation and they too would be useful. By default, the node names are not displayed as titles above each node. The node display would become too crowded by showing node names as soon as your system is composed of hundreds of nodes. We are working on making this behaviour configurable, which is part of the discussion in Bug 360435. Unfortunately, you cannot simply add row/column information, because compute nodes are not always named in a simple name schema, which can be easily mapped to a 2D display. We could add row/column information for implicit node names, which maps the id one to the upper left node and the highest id to the node at bottom right of the display. However, this implicit node naming could again confuse the users. Thus, I think a tooltip showing the actual node name would be a better solution for large systems. > > Note: I do not know if this request is only representative of the LSF System > Monitor view or can be applied to other target system configuration types. Showing the node name in the tooltip is probably helpful for many systems. > > PTP Version: 7.0.0.201305141336 > Client: Windows XP SP3, blades.austin.ibm.com > Server: Linux RHEL 6.4, k7.pok.ibm.com > Scheduler: IBM Platform LSF 9.1
On PTP Version: 7.0.0.201305311341 R1. No change. Since this is an enhancement, I will stop verifying/checking it against future build.
