Moab Configuration

Copy the moab-private.cfg file you generated in 1.1 Microsoft Windows HPC Server 2008 to /opt/moab/etc so Moab can load MSMHPC's private key.

The following is a sample Moab configuration file (moab.cfg) that is configured for a hybrid environment:

To change the PROXY variable from its default port 5343, use the MSMHPC manager on the Windows head node in the Configuration Page → Server Port → Save Settings.

The DOMAIN variable does not need to be the full domain name, but should match the login domain, such as DOMAIN\user.
