A machine specific config element contains information about a particular node in the cluster. Fields include, but are not limited to, the local display system, display windows, host name, and accepting socket port.
Step 1) Create a new Machine Specific Config element for each cluster node.
Note
Please consult VRJConfig manual for directions on adding a new config element.
Step 2) Enter a unique name for the new node. Cluster nodes are referenced by name throughout the configuration process, this requires that each node have a unique name that will not interfere with any other node.
Step 3) Create an embedded display system element
Enter the number of display pipes on the given machine in the Number of Pipes field.
For each display pipe you must create a xpipe and set its location. (ex. ptah-1:0 or ptah-1:1)
Note
Most PC systems will be able to leave the default values since they are not multi pipe systems.
Step 4) Create an embedded Display Window. In order to display graphics on either the desktop or a projected surface, you must create an associated display window. These windows can then either contain a simulated view or a surface view port such as the front wall in a CAVE.
Step 5) Enter details about this node.
Enter the port that the machine will listen for device requests on.
Enter the host name for the given machine.
Enter the serial port that will be used in the case of serial communication.
Enter the baud for this serial port.
