Re: [Ltsp-developer] PVM on LTSP

[Jason B. <jas...@ca...>]

Athar,

First, I do not have experience with PVM.  I just
know that it's a parallel execution environment.

Now, tell me what is the purpose of running the
"add host" command at the PVM console?  Is it to
bring an already running pvmd into the parallel
execution group?  Or is it supposed to start the
pvmd on a remote workstation?

Also, please tell me why you do not already have
the pvmd started on the workstation(s)?  You
could just add it to the ltsp inittab file
(/opt/ltsp/{arch}/etc/inittab).

Even though none of us are likely to have any
experience with PVM, some general conceptual
introduction to each part would be helpful.  For
instance, what does each pvmd actually *do*?

Also, when you say that the "add host" command
looks to the server's /tmp directory when it
should be looking to the workstation's, I see a
fundamental problem.  I just need to know more to
determine what the problem is and how to fix it.
