Configuration File issue

[cse_gopu]

Hi All,

I am having two machines namely system-1 and system-2. I want to cluster these two machines and run the parallel job.

So i have configured my Configuration file as follows.

{
node "node1"
{
fastname "system-1"
pools ""
resource disk "C:/Ascential/DataStage/Datasets" { pools "" }
resource disk "D:/Ascential/DataStage/Datasets" { pools "" }
resource scratchdisk "C:/Ascential/DataStage/Scratch" { pools "" }


resource scratchdisk "D:/Ascential/DataStage/Scratch" { pools "" }
}
node "node2"
{
fastname "system-2"
pools ""
resource disk "C:/Ascential/DataStage/Datasets" { }
resource disk "D:/Ascential/DataStage/Datasets" { }
resource scratchdisk "C:/Ascential/DataStage/Scratch" { }


resource scratchdisk "D:/Ascential/DataStage/Scratch" { }
}

But After i have configured this file and try to check it, i am getting the error message as follows.

This is usually due to a configuration error, such as
not having the Orchestrate install directory properly
mounted on all nodes, rsh permissions not correctly
set (via /etc/hosts.equiv or .rhosts), or running from
a directory that is not mounted on all nodes. Look for
error messages in the preceding output.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Since you have a windows version not sure why you get messages like in /C=/Ascential/DataStage/PXEngine/etc/standalone.sh is being used.

Have you followed all the instructions in the manual about configuring and testing the rsh (or ssh) processes? Have you opened the firewall to the port numbers used for communication by parallel DataStage processes (from memory 10000 (APT_PM_STARTUP_PORT) and 11000 (APT_PM_CONNECTION_PORT)?
