Hi.
I have a suggestion regarding the upgrading process… I think it would be very nice to add support for recovering multi-noded jobs after mom restarts. Starting the mom with -p parameter, only the single-noded jobs are preserved right now.
The upgrade process from PBS Pro to OpenPBS would be much easier with this feature.
If the multi-noded jobs would be preserved on mom restarts, we would be able to simply stop all pbs services running PBS Pro, upgrade to OpenPBS and start the pbs services again. Just a short maintenance window would be needed and the whole infrastructure could be upgraded. This feature would be very useful even for regular upgrades.
