[gold-users] MOAB and Gold

Wed Dec 5 11:58:14 MST 2012

Hi,
Does anyone know if Moab-7.x is compatible with Gold? Are there fairly
simple patches available to get Gold to work with Moab? Or is MAM the
only choice?

We are currently using MAM-7.1.1 but find we need to limit accounts to
specific machines which seems not to be supported. On a test cluster we
have Moab-7.1.1 and torque-4.1.3, and MAM-7.1.1 which works as expected.
I installed gold-2.2.0.4 on the test cluster, created new database and
populated with bank.sql, updated the goldd.conf with correct info,
started goldd, created users, machines, accounts, projects, etc.
Everything works on the gold side.

When I attempt to start a job it fails with InvalidAccount. I checked
the goldd.log and found:

2012-12-05 13:03:56.921 ERROR main::__ANON__  Gold server error (740):
UsageRecord is not a valid object.

In Moab, UsageRecord encloses the message sent to gold/MAM but is not
recognized by Gold, by default.

Full goldd message for the failed job:
