6.1.7 Routing

Interfaces may change significantly in future releases.

Because MWS is configured as a Resource Manager (RM) in Moab Workload Manager, events are sometimes triggered by Moab through the RM interface. These actions could be migrating a virtual machine, starting a job, submitting a job, modifying a node, and so forth. The decisions regarding which plugins are affected and notified is termed routing.

Currently all plugins receive all commands from Moab HPC Suite. This means that each plugin will receive the command to start a job if sent from Moab HPC Suite, even if that plugin does not handle the job. This means that plugins must ensure they handle actions or commands only for resources that they report or handle.
