Unmanaged Services
Unmanaged services automatically assign themselves to the first available QuickCluster
with enabled unmanaged service support. QuickClusters listen for unmanaged service
advertisements and may mark or remember any of them for later use. A QuickCluster can
use any available unmanaged service on the same local network (subnet). An unmanaged
service remains dedicated to its QuickCluster only long enough to finish the current job.
Once the current job is complete, an unmanaged service is once again a “free agent” and
advertises its availability to all QuickClusters.
Note: Managed clusters (those created with Apple Qadministrator) can also use
unmanaged services. When unmanaged service support is enabled on a managed cluster,
the cluster automatically adds any available unmanaged services in addition to its managed
services (that were explicitly added using Apple Qadministrator).
