Sun HPC ClusterTools 3.0 Administrator's Guide: With CRE

The Role of tm.rdb

tm.rdb is the resource database daemon. It runs on the master node and implements the resource database used by the other parts of the CRE. This database represents the state of the cluster and the jobs running on it.

When changes are made to the cluster configuration, the tm.rdb daemon must be restarted to update the database to reflect the new conditions. For example, if a node is added to a partition, tm.rdb must be restarted to implement these changes.
