Is there such a thing as a Kusu administrators guide? I am interested in this project, but I have not found an admin guide explaining how to provision and customize nodes.

There are some documentation that are available here:
HPC Community - Kusu Documentation

If you encounter problems, just ask on the forum. We will be glad to help you.

Yes, I've seen that documentation, but all that I have found so far talks about installing Kusu or creating kits, or cluster philosophy in general. I don't see any documentation about admin commands. For example, once Kusu is installed how do I add nodes to the cluster? This seems like it should be simple and documented, however I have not found any documentation for this most fundamental of all admin tasks. What about adding new cluster users to the nodes? Is this documented somewhere? Asking in the forum is great and helpful, but there should be a unified admin guide. What if I want to add software to the nodes without creating a kit? Is this possible? Before I go through the trouble of installing Kusu I'd like to have a good idea of how to administer the cluster.

Hi,
Currently, Kusu does not have a comprehensive guide such as the one you are looking for. We are currently in the process of putting up the man pages online.

You may also be interested in perusing the Redhat HPC documentation. The Redhat HPC solution is based on Kusu and the specifics in that documentation should all apply to Kusu, with little to no variation.
This guide can be found here: Installation Guide

That helps. Thanks.

Hi

The man pages are now available here:
