Moab Workload Manager Configuration Options
The following is a list of commonly used configure options. For a complete list, use ./configure --help when configuring Moab.
| Option | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| --with-flexlm | Causes Moab to install the license.mon.flexLM.pl script in the /opt/moab/tools directory. For more information about this script, see the Interfacing to FLEXlm section in the Moab Administrator Guide. |
[root]# ./configure --with-flexlm |
| --with-homedir |
Specifies the location of the Moab configuration directory and the MOABHOMEDIR environment variable. The default location is /opt/moab. 
MOABHOMEDIR is automatically set on some distributions during installation, when the --with-profile option is enabled. |
[root]# ./configure --with-homedir=/var/moab The Moab HPC Suite home directory will be /var/moab instead of the default /opt/moab. |
| --with-init |
Enables the installation of a distribution-specific /etc/init.d/moab service startup script. This option is required if you want to install this script onto a new system. If you do not set this option, you must manually set up the Moab daemon service. The startup script is located at OS/EL/etc/init.d/moab. 
The TORQUE and Moab HPC Suite initialization scripts are provided in the contrib/init.d directory as a courtesy and may be modified at your discretion to work on your system. |
[root]# ./configure --with-init |
| --prefix |
Specifies the location of the binaries and libraries of the Moab install. The default location is /opt/moab. |
[root]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local |
| --with-profile |
Enables the installation of distribution-specific /etc/profile.d/moab.[c]sh setup script for bash and cshell. The MOABHOMEDIR, PERL5LIB, PATH and MANPATH environment variables are setup to specify where the new moab configuration, scripts, binaries and man pages reside. If you do not set this option, these scripts are not installed, and you must manually perform this set up. The environment setup scripts are located at OS/EL/etc/profile.d/moab.[c]sh. |
[root]# ./configure --with-profile |
| --with-am |
Specifies that you want to configure Moab with Moab Accounting Manager.
There is a similar --with-torque option that configures Moab with TORQUE, but you do not need to specify this option if you install the "torque" tarball version. |
[root]# ./configure --with-am |
