Hi,<br>Thanks for the reply..I did look at the wiki and tried the following..<br><br>I set up a server/client reverse connection and trired to connect.. but i coudn't.. this was the command that i gave for the server.. olivegarden is the hostname of my laptop.<br>
<br>ssh -i /home/dagarshali/.ssh/id_rsa <a href="mailto:vishwa@hpc4.iastate.edu">vishwa@hpc4.iastate.edu</a> node083
pvserver --reverse-connection --server-port=11111
--client-host=olivegarden<br><br>here node083 is the node where the pvserver was launched...<br><br>so wasn't sure how to give that info in this command.. or am i doing something wrong.. when you say that start the cient, am i just creating a server/client and connect in manual mode..?<br>
<br>Regards,<br>Vishwa<br><br><br>

Currently you are not launching the server in reverse connection mode. To launch the server in reverse connection mode, you need to give it the arguments -rc (or --reverse-connection) and --client-host=/<a href="http://laptop.hostname.com/" target="_blank">laptop.hostname.com/</a>. When given these arguments, the server will immediately try to make a connection to /<a href="http://laptop.hostname.com/" target="_blank">laptop.hostname.com/</a>. Thus, you first need to have your client running and waiting for the server to connect. After getting things set up, you should eventually try to set up your client to automatically start the server with an ssh call and then wait for the server to connect back.<br>

Hi,<br>
I would to visualize the data that is being computed on a hpc by<br>
using pvserver and paraview.<br>
<br>
i have come across a many documents saying how to connect and the<br>
one what i thought might be appropriate in my case would to be to<br>
run pvserver on the hpc and then connect to it usind server/client<br>
reverse connection from my desktop..<br>
<br>
here is the procedure that i use to connect to the hpc to submit job.<br>
<br>
i log in to the head node via ssh john@a.b.c.d<br>
<br>
i then submit my job using the the following script via qsub myscript<br>
<br>
<br>
*#PBS<br>
-lmem=2Gb,nodes=1:ppn=4,cput=24:00:00,walltime=24:00:00 <br>
<br>
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR<br>
<br>
cat ${PBS_NODEFILE} > node1<br>
mpirun --machinefile ${PBS_NODEFILE} -np 4 pvserver<br>
--use-offscreen-rendering -\<br>
-server-port=11111 >log1<br>
*<br>
in the node1 file, i get say node083 (and it is repeated 4 times)<br>
<br>
I am not sure how to connect to this node say by running paraview<br>
from my laptop to visualize that.<br>
<br>
Any help would be greatly appreciated..<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
vishwa<br>
