Installation of torque in single node - ubuntu 14.04

[sukesh]

Hi all,

I am trying to install the torque in my ubuntu work station. I could install torque but i could not configure it. I got error when i type pbs_mom command in terminal
pbs_mom: LOG_ERROR::pbs_mom, server port = 15002, errno = 98 (Address already in use), already in use
server port = 15002, errno = 98 (Address already in use), already in use

Can anyone help me to resolve this?

A little background from a recent post…

PBS Default number of nodes and number of cpus

So a little history for your knowledge.

PBS was originally developed for NASA under a contract project. Altair Engineering acquired the rights to all the PBS technology and intellectual property from Veridian in 2003. Altair Engineering currently owns and maintains the intellectual property associated with PBS, and also employs the original development team from NASA.

The following versions of PBS are currently available:

OpenPBS — original open source version released by MRJ in 1998 (not actively developed)

TORQUE — a fork of OpenPBS that is maintained by Adaptive Computing Enterprises, Inc. (formerly Cluster Resources, Inc.)

PBS Professional (PBS Pro) — the version of PBS offered by Altair Engineering that is dual licensed under an open source and a commercial license.

PBS Professional has a more modern language specification for job submission, which is called select/place. If using PBS Professional, I would suggest using queuejob hook to evaluate the user’s job submission and modify the select/place requirements to meet your combination check.

If you are migrating to PBS Professional, then you are in the right place. The error you are seeing is likely due to another instance of pbs_mom running on the same host. Another possibility is that the socket is in TIME_WAIT state. You will need to wait until the kernel releases the socket for reuse, which may take a few minutes. That said, it doesn’t sound like this is a PBS Pro issue.
