[Paraview] pvdataserver no clip/slice work

[René Widera]

Hi,

I have to analyse very big data up to 20TB in the next time. To do this 
I start a pvdataserver, pvrenderserve and a paraview client whith a 
small testfile.

#### config.pvx##############
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<pvx>
<Process Type="client" >
<Machine Name="joker" />
</Process>
<Process Type="data-server">
<Machine Name="wildcard" />
<Machine Name="n05" />
<Machine Name="n04"/>
<Machine Name="n03"/>
<Machine Name="n02"/>
<Machine Name="n06"/>
</Process>
<Process Type="render-server" >
<Machine Name="joker" />
</Process>
</pvx>
##########config end########

mpirun -np 4 ./pvdataserver config.pvx
./pvrenderserver  config.pvx
./paraview config.pvx

The problem is that if I use a pvdataserver and renderserver I can't use 
the clip tool. I can select the clip tool and than I see nothing in the 
preview window. I can't see my extracted data and can't see  the plane 
which normaly shows where I cut the data.
I have the same problem if I only use one dataserver (without mpi) and 
one renderserver.
If I start only paraview in single mode I can use the cut tool without 
problems.

I have test paraview 3.10.1 for linux64 and 3.12.0 RC2 linux64.

Can someone help me? Is this normal that the cut and slice tool on a 
cluster not work?
