Z.84 Starting Torque in Large Environments

If running Torque in a large environment, use these tips to help Torque start up faster.

Fastest possible start up

1. Create a MOM hierarchy, even if your environment has a one-level MOM hierarchy (meaning all MOMs report directly to pbs_server), and copy the file to the mom_priv directory on the MOMs.
2. Start pbs_server with the -n option. This specifies that pbs_server won't send the hierarchy to the MOMs unless a MOM requests it.
3. Start the MOMs normally.

If no daemons are running

1. Start pbs_server with the -c option.
2. Start pbs_mom without the -w option.

If MOMs are running and just restarting pbs_server

1. Start pbs_server without the -c option.

If restarting a MOM or all MOMs

1. Start pbs_mom without the -w option. Starting it with -w causes the MOMs to appear to be down.
