Configuration Information
There are many configuration options available for Torque. Execute ./configure --help to see the complete list.
--enable-docs: Builds and installs the TORQUE documentation. Man pages will be installed regardless. |
--enable-gui: Builds and installs the GUI interfaces xpbs and xpbsmon. |
--with-rcp=scp: Causes TORQUE to use scp for remote copy. |
--with-tcl=<DIR>: Directory with tclConfig.sh. |
--with-tk=<DIR>: Directory with tkConfig.sh. |
Non-Multilib
Compile the package:
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-docs --enable-gui --with-rcp=scp \ --with-tcl=/usr/lib --with-tk=/usr/lib && make
Install the package:
make install
Multilib
32Bit
Compile the package:
CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --enable-docs --enable-gui --with-rcp=scp \ --with-tcl=/usr/lib --with-tk=/usr/lib && make
Install the package:
make install mv -v /usr/bin/pbs-config{,-32} && ln -svf multiarch_wrapper /usr/bin/pbs-config
N32
Compile the package:
CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib32 \ --enable-docs --enable-gui --with-rcp=scp \ --with-tcl=/usr/lib32 --with-tk=/usr/lib32 && make
Install the package:
make install mv -v /usr/bin/pbs-config{,-n32} && ln -svf multiarch_wrapper /usr/bin/pbs-config
64Bit
Compile the package:
CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 \ --enable-docs --enable-gui --with-rcp=scp \ --with-tcl=/usr/lib64 --with-tk=/usr/lib64 && make
Install the package:
make install mv -v /usr/bin/pbs-config{,-64} && ln -svf multiarch_wrapper /usr/bin/pbs-config
Configuring
First create the server database. Replace weibullguy with your unprivileged user name.
pbs_server -t create qmgr -c "set server managers = root@localhost" qmgr -c "set server managers += weibullguy@localhost" qmgr -c "set server operators += weibullguy@localhost" qmgr -c "create queue batch" qmgr -c "set queue batch queue_type = execution" qmgr -c "set queue batch started = true" qmgr -c "set queue batch enabled = true" qmgr -c "set server default_queue = batch" qmgr -c "set server resources_default.nodes = 1" qmgr -c "set server scheduling = true" qmgr -c "set queue batch resources_default.walltime=3600"
Tell the pbs_server which nodes are part of the cluster. Use your cluster machines' hostnames.
cat > $TORQUE_HOME/server_priv/nodes << "EOF" aragorn np=2 legolas frodo EOF
If this is a compute node, tell it which node is running the server. Use your server's hostname.
echo aragorn > $TORQUE_HOME/server_name
If this is a compute node, create a configuration file. This information can be used to specifically request certain nodes. For example, to only run jobs on nodes with CLFS as the operating system, pass the opsys=CLFS to qsub. Replace the <ARCH> and ip address appropriately for your cluster.
cat > $TORQUE_HOME/mom_priv/config << "EOF" "arch <ARCH>" "$configversion 0" “opsys CLFS” "$loglevel 3" “$log_file_max_size = 1000” $pbsserver 172.16.1.100 $status_update_time 300 EOF
Bootscript
If this is a server node, install the init script included in the bootscripts package.
make install-pbsserver
If this is a compute node, install the init script included in the bootscripts package.
make install-momclient

Short Descriptions
pbs_server | is the application that accepts batch jobs and passes them out to the nodes executing pbs_mom. |
---|---|
pbs_mom | is the application that accepts work from the pbs_server and returns the results to the head node. |
pbs_sched | is a lightweight scheduler for batch jobs. Generally a scheduler such as Maui is preferred. |
xpbs | is the GUI front end to the PBS user and operator commands. |
xpbsmon | is the GUI front end to the PBS user and operator commands. |
qsub | is a the queue submission utility. |
