Overview
Mom is allowed to create vnodes using the vnode def file. But mom does not have permission to create a natural node. Natural node won't get created unless that mom is explicitly added by a qmgr command. The proposed design will allow the mom to create the natural node and join herself to the cluster without needing an explicit qmgr command.
Admin needs to ensure the server and mom are in a secure environment.
The name of the natural node will be the non-canonicalized hostname returned by gethostname(). This can be changed using PBS_MOM_NODE_NAME.
qmgr create/delete node operation will still be honoured.
