Apple Qmaster 4 - Manual (Page 31)

5 In the dialog that appears, add an instance for each extended node you want this
intermediary node to send commands to:
a Choose SSH from the Add (+) pop-up menu.
b Edit the Host name, Username, and (if applicable) Password columns so that they
describe each computer you want to use as an extended node, then click OK.
Edit the Host name,
Username, and Password
columns to specify
the extended nodes
you are adding.
6 In the Apple Qmaster Sharing window, click OK.
Note: If you are making changes to existing settings and this computer is already providing
processing services, a dialog appears warning you that its services must be restarted for
the changes to take effect. You are able to delay the restart by entering the number of
minutes to wait, giving you time to warn others or for current batches to finish processing.
If you configured this intermediary node as the cluster controller, your work is done and
the extended node cluster is ready to start receiving and processing batches submitted
by Apple Qmaster.
If, instead, you want the extended nodes to be part of a cluster that includes regular
service nodes, use Apple Qadministrator to add this intermediary node to that cluster.
You add an intermediary node in the same way you add other service nodes, as described
in the “Apple Qmaster and Distributed Processing” chapter in the Compressor User Manual,
available in Compressor Help.
Setting Environment Variables in Apple Qmaster
You may want to set or change an environment variable for submitting certain jobs.
When you set an environment variable within Apple Qmaster, the new setting takes effect
immediately. This gives you an easy way to do things such as setting common directory
paths or plug-in-specific environment variables for Apple Qmaster jobs.
