Select the cluster you want to update by clicking on the name of the
cluster.
The form to the right of the list of clusters is populated with cluster
information.
Optional: For Cluster Name, change the name of the cluster as it will appear in the
Control web application.
The cluster name must be 20 characters or less.
Optional: For Host, change the cluster's host name by entering its:
IP address - a four-part number string such as 18.72.0.3.
Host name - a text string such as hpc.altair.com.
To update additional cluster information, click Show Advanced
Options.
Optional: For SSH Port, update the SSH port when the port that the PBS Server listens on changes.

Once the cluster is added, subsequent administrative actions are
performed as the credentials utilized while adding the cluster. It is recommended to add
the cluster using the credentials of someone with PBS Manager privileges. Connecting to a cluster using non-managerial credentials will
severely limit the administrative actions that can be performed, however monitoring
capabilities will not be affected.
Click Update.
The cluster is updated.
The following notification is displayed to any users that
have been granted access to the HPC cluster based on their role, all Managers, and
the user who added the cluster:
Your view is updated to reflect the privilege changes in cluster: CLUSTER
where
CLUSTER is the name specified for the cluster.
