Dear All,

This is the first time we deploy a cluster, so we don't have much 
experience. We, first and simultaneously, install Rocks 5.4 and Torque 
5.4 on head node. We create a mini cluster (in laboratory) with 02 
compute nodes. With mini cluster, we can submit job, and it run on 
compute nodes. Then, we install and configure Gold 2.2.0.2 (we chose 
PostgreSQL database). Although we can successful implement all commands 
in Gold User's Guide (and via web-base manager tool), but when we submit 
a job and it run completely, we don't see anything that been changed in 
Job, Account, Charge, etc...

There are something we can not understand, example: the user that we use 
"gmkuser" command doesn't exist in Cluster system, and vice versa, the 
user we use "useradd" command doesn't exist in Gold. Is this difference 
the main reason that make "we don't see anything that been changed in 
Job, Account, Charge, etc..."

Please help me. We hope with your help, we can use Gold Allocation 
Manager to manage our resources better.

Thanks and regards

First, you need to use Torque's epilogue scripts to run gcharge when the
jobs complete, unless you're using Maui. I think Maui has some options to
do the gcharge. Then, you should use the same username when creating users
in Gold and on the OS to make things simpler.

Yeah, Gold has its own users, projects, etc that it maintains.

You can turn on user autocreation if you want, but instead
we integrate it into our account system so that when a new
user account is created in LDAP it gets created in Gold and
associated with its default project.

As Kevin mentioned both Maui and Moab can talk natively to
Gold to do accounting.

cheers,
Chris
