Quickly set up a service node using This Computer Plus
Using This Computer Plus gives you an easy way to take advantage of the distributed processing
capabilities offered by Apple Qmaster without requiring a lot of knowledge about how clusters
are configured, how to set up file sharing, and so on.
Note: Before following the steps below, confirm that each computer you configure is using the
same versions of Compressor, QuickTime, and OS X.
Set up a computer as a service node using This Computer Plus
1
In Compressor, choose Apple Qmaster > Share This Computer.
The Apple Qmaster Sharing window appears.
2
In the Setup pane, select “Share this computer” and “as Services only.”
3
Select Compressor in the Services area, and make sure that “Require these services to only be
used in managed clusters” is not selected.
4
Click OK.
If you’re making changes to existing settings and this computer is already providing processing
services, clicking OK immediately resets this computer’s services. If this computer is also the
cluster controller, any current jobs are terminated.
This computer is now available for Compressor to use as an unmanaged service node.
