cd matlabroot\toolbox\distcomp\ bin
2 Start the job manager, using any unique text you want for the name
<MyJobManager>. Enter this text on a single line.
startjobmanager -name <MyJobManager>
-remotehost <jo b manager hostname> -v
3 Verify that the job manager is running on the intended host.
nodestatus -re mote host <job manag er hostname>
Note If you have more than one job manager on your cluster, each must
have a unique name.
Start the Workers.

Also, the license manager for MATLAB Distributed Computing Server must
be running on the network before you can start a worker.
For each node used as a worker, enter the following commands in a DO S
