Installation guide

Validate Installation with MJS

This procedure verifies that your parallel computing products are installed

and configured correctly.

Step 1: Verify the Cluster Connection

To verify the network connection from the client computer to the M JS

computer, follow these instructions.

Note In these instructions, matlabro ot refers to the folder where MATLAB

is installed on the client computer. Do not confuse this with the MDCS cluster

computers.

1 On the client com puter where Parallel Computing Toolbox is installed,

open a DOS command window (for Windows software) or a shell (for UNIX

software) and go to the control script folder.

cd matlabroot\toolbox\dis tcom p\bi n (for Windows)

matlabroot/toolbox/distcomp/bin (for UNIX)

2 Run nodestatus to verify your cluster communications. Substitute <MJS

Host>

with the host name of your MJS computer.

nodestatus -remotehost <MJS Host>

If successful, you should see the status of your MJS (job manager) and its

workers. Otherwise, refer to the troubleshooting section of the MATLAB

Distributed Computing Server System Administrator’s Guide.

Step 2: Define a Cluster Profile

In this step you define a cluster profile to use in subsequent steps.

1 Start the Cluster Profile Manager from the MATLAB desktop by selecting

Parallel > Manage Cluster Profiles.

2 Create a new profile in the Cluster Profile Manager b y selecting

New > MATL AB Job Scheduler (MJS).
