TORQUE Installation in RHEL6 or CentOS6

Torque installation in RHEL

Torque is a resource manager provides control over batch jobs. It is a advanced opensource product. A TORQUE cluster consists of one head node and many compute nodes

Head node runs the pbs_server daemon 

Compute nodes run the pbs_mom daemon 

{ NOTE key words: Maui or Moab }       

Maui or Moab is advanced scheduler, the scheduler interacts with pbs_server to make local policy decisions for resource usage and allocate nodes to jobs

Users submit jobs to pbs_server using the qsub command 

# yum install libtool openssl-devel libxml2-devel boost-devel gcc gcc-c++ -y

Adding a node back to redhat cluster suit failing......????

If you get this error "Adding a node back to the cluster failing"

Please delete the file cluster.conf from the failing node  /etc/cluster/cluster.conf , this will resolve the issue.
