Installation guide

Validate Installation with Job Manager

This procedure verifies that your parallel computing products are installed

and configured correctly.

Step 1: Verify the Network Connection

To verify the network connection from the client computer to the job manager

computer, follow these instructions.

Note In these instructions, matlabroot 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\distcomp\ bin (for Windows)

matlabroot/toolbox/distcomp/bin (for UNIX)

2 Run nodestatus to verify your configuration and connection. Substitute

<JobManagerHost> with the host name of your job manager computer.

nodestatus -re mote host <JobManagerHos t>

If successful, you should s ee the status of your 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 User Configuration

In this step you define a user co nfiguration to use in subsequent steps.

1 Start the Configurations Manager from the MATLAB desktop by selecting

Parallel > Manage Configurations.

2 Create a new configuration in the Configurations M anager dialog box by

selecting File > New > jobmanager.
