Nodes are added and removed automatically, though although an updated list requires reloading (→ right-click on the web interface and choose "Reload" button) this page. Every node has its own row.
Most of the entires are self-explaining, and therefore only some fields are explained:
Name
The job node's name is displayed here. You can enter a name under → “Edit Job” (see below).
IP Address
The job node's IP address is displayed here.
Operating System
See the job node's operating system. Heterogeneous networks are supported.
RF Version
This is the version of the RealFlow application installed on the job node. All nodes must share the same RF version.
Max. Threads
Here you can see how many threads you can use with the job node. The actual number of simulation threads is shown under in the → "Current Jobs" table under “# threads”.RealFlow version.
Status
There is a total of seven messages:
...
Ready | The node is available for simulation. |
|---|---|
Disconnected | There is no connection with the manager. |
Ignored | Ignored nodes are those with the “Ignore” flag set to “On” , regardless of whether it is available or not.(see Icons > Edit Node below) |
Waiting | The node is currently connected to the manager. If a node stalls on this status for some reason, it can be reconnected with the “retry” action. Usually you can see this message when the node starts to bind itself to the manager. |
Simulating | A simulation is currently in progress. |
Unlicensed | The node cannot be used due lacking a valid license. The “retry” action will appear in this case for a second chance. |
Disabled | The node is disabled. This can happen when the workgroup it belongs to is disabled or has reached its maximum amount of jobs. |
