discovery of MJS clusters by identifying specific hosts rather than broadcasting
across your network.
A DNS service (SRV) record defines the location of hosts and ports of services, such
as those related to the clusters you want to discover. Your system administrator
creates DNS SRV records in your organization’s DNS infrastructure. For a
description of the required record, and validation information, see “DNS SRV
Record”.
• HPC Server — Discover clusters functionality uses Active Directory Domain Services
to discover head nodes. HPC Server head nodes are added to the Active Directory
during installation of the HPC Server software.
• Amazon EC2 — Discover clusters functionality requires a working network
connection between the client and the Cloud Center web services running in
mathworks.com.
Import and Export Cluster Profiles
Cluster profiles are stored as part of your MATLAB preferences, so they are generally
available on an individual user basis. To make a cluster profile available to someone else,
you can export it to a separate .settings file. In this way, a repository of profiles can be
created so that all users of a computing cluster can share common profiles.
To export a cluster profile:
1
In the Profile Clusters Manager, select (highlight) the profile you want to export.
2
Click Export > Export. (Alternatively, you can right-click the profile in the listing
and select Export.)
If you want to export all your profiles to a single file, click Export > Export All
3
In the Export profiles to file dialog box, specify a location and name for the file.
The default file name is the same as the name of the profile it contains, with a
.settings extension appended; you can alter the names if you want to.
Profiles saved in this way can then be imported by other MATLAB users:
1
In the Cluster Profile Manager, click Import.
2
In the Import profiles from file dialog box, browse to find the .settings file for the
profile you want to import. Select the file and click Open.
