TORQUE Administrator's Manual - 3.1 Adding Nodes

3.1 Adding Nodes

TORQUE can add and remove nodes either dynamically with qmgr or by manually editing the $TORQUEHOME/server_priv/nodes file (see Basic Configuration).

3.1.1 Run-Time Node Changes

TORQUE can dynamically add nodes with the qmgr command. For example, the following command will add node node003:

> qmgr -c "create node node003"

This will append the file $TORQUE_HOME/server_priv/nodes with:

node003

Nodes can also be removed with a similar command:

> qmgr -c "delete node node003"

Typically, an admin will wish to change the state of a node instead of remove it (see Changing Node State).

As of TORQUE 2.0, this capability was unreliable at best. It is highly recommended that node changes be followed by a restart of pbs_server, or just edit the nodes file manually and restart it.
