4.5 End-user Commands
While the majority of Moab commands are tailored for use by system administrators, a number of commands are designed to extend the knowledge and capabilities of end-users. The following table covers the commands available to end-users.
When using Active Directory as a central authentication mechanism, all nodes must be reported with a different name when booted in both Linux and Windows (for instance, node01-l for Linux and node01 for Windows). If a machine account with the same name is created for each OS, the most recent OS will remove the previously-joined machine account. The nodes must report to Moab with the same host name. This can be done by using aliases (adding all node names to the /etc/hosts file on the system where Moab is running) and ensuring that the Linux resource manager reports the node with its global name rather than the Linux-specific one (node01 rather than node01-l).
