Moab Access Portal

2.2 Multiple Cluster Configuration

Moab Access Portal® can be configured to support multiple clusters by allowing users to choose which cluster they would like to use as they login to the system.

To enable this feature:

  1. Open the
  2. $CONFIG-DIR/MAP-hosts file in any text editor.
  3. Add any number of new cluster entries. The entry syntax is:
      <Descriptive Name>=<Head Node Name>[:<Alternate SSH Port>][@<Moab's Bin Path>]
      
    For example, if a new cluster serial job cluster is installed, with a head node at
  4. headnode.domain.net and accepting SSH connections through port
  5. 8888 then the cluster entry would be
  6. Serial=headnode.domain.net:8888.

    If the cluster also had to define where the Moab Workload Manager® commands are, set the path accordingly:

  7. Serial=headnode.domain.net:8888@/usr/local/moab/bin/. This path will override, at least for this cluster, any globally configured paths defined by the MOAB-COMMANDS-PATH parameter.

  8. Save changes and restart the servlet container.
