Managed vs. Unmanaged Services
You have flexibility in how you build clusters for distributed processing with Compressor
or Apple Qmaster. When you turn on processing services (see
), you can choose to make them either managed services or unmanaged
services (the default).
Managed Services
Managed services can be assigned to serve one particular cluster controller. Once assigned,
managed services remain exclusively dedicated to that cluster until they are removed
with the Apple Qadministrator application. QuickClusters cannot use managed services
from other nodes, except in the case of extended node clusters. For more information,
see
Modifying and Deleting Clusters with Apple Qadministrator
. See the Apple Qmaster
User Manual for more information on extended node clusters.
