Regardless of the interface approach selected, adding support for a new resource manager is typically a straightforward process for about 95% of all supported features. The final 5% of features usually requires a bit more effort as each resource manager has a number of distinct concepts that must be addressed.
11.5.1 Resource Manager Specific Interfaces
If you require tighter integration and need additional instruction, see Managing Resources Directly with the Native Interface. If you would like consultation on support for a new resource manager type, please contact the Professional Services group at Adaptive Computing.
The Wiki interface is already defined as a resource manager type, so no modifications are required within Moab. Additionally, no resource manager specific library or header file is required. However, within the resource manager, internal job and node objects and attributes must be manipulated and placed within Wiki based interface concepts as defined in the Wiki Overview. Additionally, resource manager parameters must be created to allow a site to configure this interface appropriately.
The SSS interface is an XML based generalized resource manager interface. It provides an extensible, scalable, and secure method of querying and modifying general workload and resource information.
