TorqueMaui

Installing a Torque and Maui cluster

Prerequisites

• the RPMs with the Torque and Maui programs and doc are located at http://eticssoft.cern.ch/eticssoft/repository/torquemaui/. They are available for EL3, EL4 32-bit, and EL4 64-bit.

Installing the server

Install the following RPMs on the Torque/MAUI server:

• torque
• torque-docs
• torque-server
• torque-client (for testing)

And on the worker nodes you need only the Torque mom and PAM packages:

• torque
• torque-mom
• torque-pam

And on the submission hosts (desktops and user interface system):

• torque
• torque-client
• torque-docs

Configuring the server

An example configuration is below (for recent torque versions):

#
# Create and define queue test
#
create queue test
set queue test queue_type = Execution
set queue test resources_max.cput = 00:30:00
set queue test resources_max.walltime = 00:35:00
set queue test acl_group_enable = True
set queue test acl_groups = hadron
set queue test acl_groups += emin
set queue test acl_groups += bfys
set queue test keep_completed = 600
set queue test enabled = True
set queue test started = True
#
# Set server attributes.
#
set server scheduling = True
set server acl_host_enable = True
set server acl_hosts = localhost
set server acl_hosts += localhost.localdomain
set server acl_hosts += *.nikhef.nl
set server submit_hosts = *.nikhef.nl
set server managers = davidg@*.nikhef.nl
set server managers += tond@*.nikhef.nl
set server operators = andrevk@*.nikhef.nl
set server operators += a03@*.nikhef.nl
set server default_queue = test
set server log_events = 127
set server mail_from = root
set server query_other_jobs = False
set server scheduler_iteration = 60
set server node_ping_rate = 300
set server node_check_rate = 600
set server tcp_timeout = 6
set server default_node = farm
set server node_pack = False
set server job_stat_rate = 45
set server poll_jobs = True
set server log_level = 1
set server server_name = pinnacle.nikhef.nl
