Each slave node needs to run the Moldflow Job Manager, a program which listens for incoming connections and runs jobs on behalf of a client, in this case, the master node.
For each slave, run the following steps, either interactively, or as part of a script:
- Create an empty directory in the node's read-write scratch area. This directory will be referred to as $TEMP in the remaining steps.
- Source the $INSTALLATION/mfclient.env file.
- Execute $INSTALLATION/bin/mpijm --tempdir $TEMP
Tip: By default,
mpijm runs as a daemon and so will return to your shell immediately. You can control this with the --daemon and --nodaemon options.
mpijm writes its process ID to
/var/run/Autodesk/ami2016jm/ami2016jm.pid; this path is configurable with the
--pidfile option.
