Add servers one at a time, using the Server Management tool of the Simulation Job Manager.
You can launch an analysis on your local machine, or you can use your local machine to launch an analysis on a different machine on the network. To launch a job on a different machine, make sure the remote machines have the same release of software installed on them, and that there is a Job Server entry for each remote machine in the Job Manager dialog.
Note: If you are using remote Linux machines, make sure the job server is running on each node.
A default job server is setup during installation, and assigned the name localhost. If you change this default name, localhost will not appear in your job manager list when you choose a job server on the network.
- In the
Simulation Job Manager toolbar, click
Server Management.
- Identify the address of the server you want to add, then click Add Server.
- In the
Server address text box, enter the address of the machine on which you want the jobs to run.
You can specify the address using one of the following methods:
- IP address
- For example, 190.11.222.333
- Host name
- For example, john-smith
- Fully qualified host name
- For example, john-smith.mycompany.com
- In the Display name text field, enter the job server name you want to appear in the Job Manager dialog.
- In the Batch queue concurrent job limit, enter a number from 1 to 20.
- Click OK to close the dialog.
