Apple Compressor (4.0) - Manual (Page 226)

Chapter 8 Use Apple Qmaster to set up a distributed processing system 226
Configure an intermediary service node to run Apple Qmaster commands on extended nodes
Before you begin, be sure that the computer that will be the intermediary service node has
Compressor installed and that the computers that will be the extended nodes have a UNIX-
based operating system and have SSH enabled.
1 In Compressor, choose Apple Qmaster > Share This Computer.
If this intermediary node will be part of a mixed cluster, with a different computer acting as the
cluster controller, skip to step 5. If you want this intermediary node to be the cluster controller for
this cluster, do steps 2, 3, and 4.
2 In the Apple Qmaster Sharing window, select “Share this computer” and select either the "as
QuickCluster with services” or the “as Services and cluster controller” option.
3 Enter a name in the “Identify this QuickCluster as” field. This is the name that will be shown in
the Cluster list in Apple Qadministrator and in the cluster pop-up menus in Share Monitor and
Apple Qmaster.
4 Select the Rendering and “Require these services to only be used in managed clusters” checkboxes.
5 Click the Options button next to the Rendering item.
