Use Apple Qadministrator to create and modify clusters

260

If a closed lock icon appears next to a computer name, click the lock and enter the password that
was assigned to it in the Apple Qmaster Sharing window in Compressor. Otherwise, you won’t be
able to drag that service node to the cluster.
Service nodes that are already assigned to another cluster are not shown.

Clicking this disclosure triangle

displays each instance of the

services set in the Apple Qmaster

Sharing window for this node.

Drag nodes to this list from

the Service Browser list.

Note: The computer names that are listed at the top of the Name columns may appear in one
of three formats, depending on your setup: the computer name (for example, TL’s Machine),
the Apple networking name (for example, TL’s-Machine.local), or the network address for the
computer (for example, 02030b-dhcp45.company.com).

When you have finished adding service nodes, click Apply.

Your cluster is now ready to process batches.

Note: Although Apple Qadministrator allows you to create a cluster with unmanaged services,
valid clusters require at least one managed service for the cluster to be viewable in Apple
Qmaster, Compressor, and Share Monitor.
