Dear Alan,
  

I have installed pbs (torque) on my headnode and when I tried to run pbsnodes 
-a I only saw the server. I thought I should see all my nodes on the cluster. 
See the output:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# /opt/pbs/bin/pbsnodes -a
isxp1313c.sims.cranfield.ac.uk
     state = down
     np = 2
     ntype = cluster

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]#


Why is the state=down? In the manual it should be state=free.

Could it be because I used the following configurations for the command:

/opt/pbs/bin/qmgr

  Qmgr: set server operators = [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  Qmgr: create queue batch
Qmgr: set queue batch queue_type = Execution
Qmgr: set queue batch started = True
Qmgr: set queue batch enabled = True
Qmgr: set server default_queue = batch
Qmgr: set server resources_default.nodes = 1
Qmgr: set server scheduling = True
Qmgr: quit 
   
  Could it be that 
Qmgr: set server resources_default.nodes = 1,  should be:

Qmgr: set server resources_default.nodes = 9?

Please how can I view all the nodes in the cluster Alan?
  
Regards
  Gokop

No. Don't do this, ever! As Charles Bacon pointed out to you in his 
reply yesterday, you need to generate a grid proxy from your user 
certificate from a normal user account, not as root. You do not want 
to map a grid user to the root account or allow this kind of access.

Perhaps you could provide (off-line if needed) a description of what 
you are trying to achieve with your grid test instance? If you would 
like to get a quick start on a working test implementation of grid 
technology, there are several excellent tutorials, including the 
following:

http://www.globusconsortium.org/tutorial/

See especially Chapter 6.

If your goals are more widespread, for example trying to create a 
virtual organization for work in a certain area, you might check into 
the Open Science Grid, EGEE, GLite or other comprehensive 
distributions aimed at this task.

Note for your certificates to be accepted for use in essentially any 
major grid, you will need to obtain host and user certificates issued 
by a certificate authority accredited by the International Grid Trust 
Federation (IGTF), information for which is available at

http://gridpma.org

Note: my own project to build a state-wide grid has produced an easy- 
to-install implementation of a subset of the Virtual Data Toolkit 
implementation of GT4.x and a few other simple components, 
information for which is available at the link

http://tigreportal.hipcat.net

Click on the link that says "Administrators" and then the tab for 
"Server Stack Installation" for information on installing the server 
components, or on the link that says "Documentation" then the tab for 
"Client Stack Installation" for information on installing the 
components typically used for client and job submission. (It is not 
necessary to join the project to use this software stack, which was 
designed to make an easy on-ramp for users and administrators to get 
started with grid technology with the aim of joining larger 
projects.) The VDT forms the basis for this implementation.

Hope this helps,
