3.1 Layout of Scheduler Components

Moab is initially unpacked into a simple one-deep directory structure. What follows demonstrates the default layout of scheduler components; some of the files (such as log and statistics files) are created while Moab runs.

If you want to run Moab from a different directory other than /opt/moab but did not use the --with-homedir parameter during ./configure, you can set the $MOABHOMEDIR environment variable, declare the home directory in the /etc/moab.cfg file, or use the -C command line option when using the Moab server or client commandsto specify the configuration file location.

When Moab runs, it creates a log file, moab.log, in the log directory and creates a statistics file in the stats directory with the naming convention events.WWW_MMM_DD_YYYY. (Example: events.Sat_Oct_10_2009). Additionally, a checkpoint file, .moab.ck, and lock file, .moab.pid, are maintained in the Moab home directory.

3.1.1 Layout of Scheduler Components with Integrated Database Enabled

If USEDATABASE INTERNAL is configured, the layout of scheduler components varies slightly. The .moab.ck file and usage profiling data (stat/{DAY|WEEK|MONTH|YEAR}.<date>) are stored in the moab.db database. In addition, the event information is stored in both event files: (stat/events.<date>) and moab.db.
