Role Name

Build, install, and set up PBSPro (https://www.pbspro.org)

Requirements

No special requirements. This role will install everything needed for PBS.

Role Variables

pbspro_prefix: "/opt/pbs"
pbspro_version: "v19.1.1"
pbspro_prebuild: False
pbspro_server: True
pbspro_server_hostname: "192.168.0.1"
pbspro_child_nodes: []
pbspro_run_job_on_server: True
pbspro_qmgr_cmds: []
pbspro_installation: True
pbspro_setup: True

Please note that pbspro_server_hostname is not set by default. If it’s not set, PBS_SERVER in /etc/pbs.conf will be set to localhost, so you must set this variable explicitly in a multi-node environment.

The acceptable values for pbspro_version are in vars/main.yml, but this role has only been tested with v19.1.1 so far.

• pbspro_child_nodes is a list of hostnames for child nodes. This will be used by qmgr to create vnode settings.
• pbspro_qmgr_cmds is a list of qmgr commands. If set, each command will be executed with qmgr -c at the end of the play.
• pbspro_run_job_on_server is a flag. If set to true, the PBS server node will accept jobs (MOM will run on the server node). Default is True.
• pbspro_prebuild is not currently supported. If set to True, it will attempt to install prebuilt binaries instead of building from source.
• If pbspro_installation is True and pbspro_setup is False, this role will only install PBSPro. If the opposite is true, it will only set up an existing PBSPro installation.

Dependencies

None.
