Using PBS Professional on HP XC

Starting the service daemons.
Enter the following command to start the server, scheduler, and MOM daemons:
# pdsh -w "x[n-n, N]" service pbs start
Where the nodelist "x[n-n, N]" specifies the range of execution nodes (n-n), and also the PBS
server node (N). For example, a valid nodelist is "n[1-49,100]". As for previous nodelists, the
double quotation marks are required.
Enter the following command to cause PBS Professional to start automatically at boot time:
# pdsh -w "x[n-n, N]" chkconfig --level 345 pbs on
Use the same value for nodelist as specified in the previous pdsh command for starting the service
daemons.
The preceding commands complete the minimum installation and configuration of PBS Professional on
an HP XC cluster. See the PBS Professional Administrator Guide for information on other configuration
options.
Setting up PBS Professional™ at the user level
There is some overlap in the name space of PBS Professional commands and other HP XC-provided
software. Users of PBS Professional must set their PATH and MANPATH variables so that the PBS
Professional versions of commands and man pages are invoked.
Users of the csh or tcsh shells must append the following the commands to an appropriate login
shell script:
% setenv PATH /usr/pbs/bin:${PATH}
% setenv MANPATH /usr/pbs/man:${MANPATH}
Users of the sh/ksh/bash shell must append the following the commands to an appropriate login
shell script:
% PATH=/usr/pbs/bin:${PATH} ; export PATH
% MANPATH=/usr/pbs/man:${MANPATH} ; export MANPATH
Users must configure OpenSSH to enable a login without a password. Use the following commands,
(described in the HP XC System Software User's Guide), pressing the Enter key in response to all
system prompts to accept the default values:
$ ssh-keygen -t dsa
$ cd ~/.ssh
