Uninstalling Torque from modules
Torque should always be a system program, not a module. These are the steps for pollock, as done by Charlie. Substitute appropriate server names, and note that different systems have different ways of configuring software to launch on system start.
- uninstall torque from modules
- Make a tarball of /mounts/pollock/software/torque and save it to the root or sysadmin directory (this will save you problems)
- rm -rf /mounts/pollock/software/Modules/MODVER/modulefiles/torque
- rm -rf /mounts/pollock/software/torque
- check with “module avail”
- uninstall boost from modules
- as above with s/torque/boost/
- install torque dependencies
- yum install libxml2-devel openssl-devel gcc gcc-c++ boost boost-devel
- (aside, install locate, yum install mlocate and updatedb as root)
- (aside, fix modules install, cleanup /etc/bashrc, profile, and profile.d/modules.sh; this fixed the MANPATH problem too)
- (aside, fix the python 3.5 install, s/bronte/pollock in setup files, change to correct version (3.6), reset paths)

- (references: https://www.webmo.net/support/torque.html, http://docs.adaptivecomputing.com/torque/6-0-1/help.htm#topics/hpcSuiteInstall/manual/1-installing/installingTorque.htm)
- stop and disable the local firewalld (service stop and service disable)
- download tarball from adaptive computing (v6.0.0.1), unpack, cd
- ./configure && make && make install
- check file contents of /var/spool/torque/server_name
- add trqauthd to system startup and start
- ./torque.setup root
- setup /var/spool/torque/server_priv/nodes #see http://docs.adaptivecomputing.com/torque/6-0-1/help.htm#topics/torque/1-installConfig/specifyComputeNodes.htm
- add pbs_server to system startup and start
- add pbs_sched to system startup and start
- build the client packages and install # both mom and clients as per the webmo link
- qmgr -c “set server scheduling = True”
