Since I was interested in this as well we started discussing it after his announcement of this on freebsd-ports. Anyway, one item under discussion is whether to split up the port into a "server" port and a "client" slave port. The server port would install on the cluster host and include all the tools, pbs_server and pbs_sched. The client port would install on nodes and only contain pbs_mom and associated config. Note that one could also install the client port on the host if it was acting as a node as well. What we'd like to know is whether this is useful to people or not. So, we'd like to hear what people are doing (especially) or how they would like the port to operate in this respect. Basically should the port be split or should it be a single port as it is now and pbs_server and pbs_sched just not be started on the nodes? -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-cluster" in the body of the message
