PBS Professional

Note

This resource manager has limited support from the Open OnDemand developers. This is because it was either contributed by the community or the developers no longer have access to a live system to test against.

Due to this lack of access, the developers may not be able to fix bugs or issues.

However, community patches are always welcome.

A YAML cluster configuration file for a PBS Professional resource manager on an HPC cluster looks like:

# /etc/ood/config/clusters.d/my_cluster.yml
---
v2:
  metadata:
    title: "My Cluster"
  login:
    host: "my_cluster.my_center.edu"
  job:
    adapter: "pbspro"
    host: "my_cluster-batch.my_center.edu"
    exec: "/opt/pbs"
   # bin_overrides:
      # qsub: "/usr/local/bin/qsub"
      # qselect: ""
      # qstat: ""
      # qhold: ""
