Guides for new HPC admins

In my company, it's fallen on me to serve as the admin of our new HPC cluster, a task that's very new to me. It's very important to me to lay a solid foundation and avoid any unnecessary pitfalls. So, can anyone recommend a succinct guide or list of do's-and-don'ts for adiminstering an HPC cluster? The cluster runs the latest CentOS, PGI compilers, MPICH2, WRF, etc.

Thanks!

mojomojo::controller::admin

MojoMojo::Controller::Admin(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			  MojoMojo::Controller::Admin(3pm)

NAME

       MojoMojo::Controller::Admin - Site Administration

DESCRIPTION

       Action to handle management of MojoMojo. Click the admin link at the bottom of the page while logged in as admin to access these functions.

METHODS

   auto
       Access control. Only administrators should access functions in this controller.

   settings ( /.admin )
       Show settings screen.

   user ( .admin/user )
       User listing with pager, for enabling/disabling users.

   role ( .admin/role )
       Role listing, creation and assignment.

   create_role ( .admin/create_role )
       Role creation page.

   edit_role ( .admin/role/ )
       Role edit page.

   handle_role_form
       Handle role form processing.  Returns true when a submitted form was actually processed.

   update_user ( *private*)
       Update user based on user listing.

   precompile_pages
       Make a formatted version of content body and store it in content.precompiled.  This makes MojoMojo go zing, when loading content for page
       requests.

       Depending on the number of pages, and versions of them, this could take some minutes.  For 2000 page versions on a 2.4 GHz desktop this
       script took about 3 minutes to run.

   delete
       Delete a page and its descendants.  This is in MojoMojo::Controller::Admin because we are restricting page deletion to admins only for the
       time being.

       TODO: this method should reside in the Model, not in a Controller (issue #87).
