Configuring the master node for a grid setup
When logged in as a user in the admin group on the master node, go to:
Configuration (
) | Job processing (
)
Open the Server settings section.
Under Server setup configure the following:
- Server mode - Select
MASTER_NODEfrom the list of server modes. - CPU limit - Enter the maximum number of CPU the CLC Server should use. This is set to unlimited by default, meaning that up to all cores of the system can be used.
Save these configuration changes, and then, under Master and execution node settings configure the following:
- Master node host - Enter the hostname that execution nodes should use to contact the master node. To see a list of host addresses and host names reported by the master node, click on the text "More suggestions".
- Master node port - Enter the port that execution nodes should use to contact the master node. This is usually 7777. The listening port of the master may be changed (see Changing the listening port). Communication between a master and execution nodes uses HTTP.
Save the configuration by clicking on the Save Configuration button under the Fairness factor setting to register the changes made.
