   The screen populates with a list of IASP devices and nodes in the cluster that are potential hosts for the IASP device similar to figure 1 below:

4. The display contains the list of tracked jobs organized by the system the jobs were tracked on. Jobs are tracked using the system name instead of the cluster node name. Locate any jobs listed for the system that failed.

5. Use option 5 to display more details for a job. If it is desirable to resubmit a job, use option 1 to resubmit the job, repeating until all jobs have been reviewed.

6. After reviewing all jobs, in many instances it is recommended to continue on to Clearing Tracked Jobs below.

Clearing Tracked Jobs

After all desired tracked jobs have been either handled or resubmitted as required, it is recommended that the tracked job queue is cleared. Clearing the tracked job queue ensures that these old jobs do not cause confusion during a future unplanned failure event.

   The screen populates with a list of IASP devices and nodes in the cluster that are potential hosts for the IASP device similar to figure 3 below:
