[Iometer-user] Error loading the ICF file...

[Ian <io...@ze...>]

Running iometer 2006.07.27-RC2

I'm currently running into an odd problem attempting to run a test on a
remote dynamo.

workstation is running iometer
win2k3 server is running dynamo.
this is in a LAN setting.  (All computers part of 192.168.0.0/24 network)=
.

If I run this from the workstation:
iometer /c linearfs.icf /r linearfs.csv /t 10

I get this error:
ERROR: Error loading the ICF file.  A worker is assigned a target,
"PHYSICALDRIVE:0", that isn't available.

I believe this has something to do with iometer also opening up a dynamo
process on the workstation even when it is not specified in the .icf file=
,
and assinging THAT worker the target that was meant for the manager
specified in the icf file.

When I run the exact same command on the server itself using the exact
same icf file, it runs correctly but it does open an additional dynamo
with the same name.. the one I start before I ran the iometer command
shows up in the iometer list, but isn't used. Is there a way to get the
.icf file to tell iometer to NOT open any managers itself and to wait as
it should?

Here is the manager section of the icf file:
