 Submit To: Choose a cluster to process this batch.
 Working Directory: If relevant, enter the working directory (from which you want the

Creating an Extended Node Cluster
(Using Nodes Without Apple Qmaster Installed)
You can create a cluster containing one or more computers that do not have
Apple Qmaster installed. To do this, you configure an intermediary service node that
executes Apple Qmaster commands on other computers, called extended nodes. The
intermediary service node runs UNIX Apple Qmaster commands on the extended
nodes via the SSH (secure shell) UNIX program, so that the extended nodes can process
Apple Qmaster batches without having Apple Qmaster installed. This type of cluster is
called an extended node cluster.
Type the command in
the Command column.
