Installation and Upgrade Information
This section identifies information useful when installing and upgrading.
When installing or upgrading, it is strongly recommended that administrators configure Moab with mauth authentication with a complex key value. See Mauth Authentication in the Moab Workload Manager Administrator Guide for more information.

This section provides information on compatibility with specific OS distributions and between the different components of the suite.
Moab Workload Manager and Torque Resource Manager
Although the recommended configuration is Moab version 9.0 and Torque version 6.0, Moab version 9.0 also supports Torque version 5.0 and 5.1.
Torque 6.0 requires 8.0 or later; however, some Torque 6.0 functionality requires Moab 9.0.
Moab Web Services
Moab Web Services does not support SUSE 11-based systems.
Since SLES 12 has ceased to provide MongoDB 2.4 in its repositories, fresh 9.0 tarball installs are not supported for MWS on SLES 12. However, upgrades of existing 9.0 MWS tarball installs to 9.0.3 are supported on SLES 12. Customers desiring to install MWS on SLES 12 may install MWS 9.0.3 via RPM (which bundles the missing MongoDB RPMs) or may install MWS 9.1 via tarball or RPM (which uses a newer version of MongoDB).
If you are using Moab Web Services with your current Moab solution, Moab needs to be installed on a MWS-compatible OS.
Moab Accounting Manager
Moab Accounting Manager version 9.0 is compatible only with Moab Workload Manager version 9.0.
If you are using Moab Accounting Manager with your current Moab solution, you will need to upgrade to the new Moab Accounting Manager 9.0 at the same time that you upgrade to Moab Workload Manager 9.0.
Moab Viewpoint Version 9.0.2
Moab Viewpoint version 9.0.2 requires Moab Workload Manager and Moab Insight to also be version 9.0.2.
Installing Moab HPC Suite 9.0.3
Please see the Moab HPC Suite Installation and Configuration Guide for manual or RPM-based installation instructions.
Upgrading to Moab HPC Suite 9.0.3
Please see the Moab HPC Suite Installation and Configuration Guide for manual or RPM-based upgrade instructions.
The RLM v12.1 (build:2) release resolved memory leak and security issues. The RLM package available with Moab HPC Suite 9.0.2, contains the v12.1 (build:2) release. Adaptive Computing strongly recommends that your RLM Server is v12.1 (build:2).
