Nodes are added and removed automatically, though an updated list requires reloading (→ "Reload" button) this page. Every node has its own row.


 

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.

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”.

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.

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.

Icons


Edit Node

When you click on this icon you will see a new page (see below) where you can configure a node.

Edit Node

Here it is possible to configure a job node.



Name

Here you can enter a node’s real name or IP address as it appears in your network. Blanks or special characters are not allowed.

Ignore

With this checkbox it is possible to kick out a job node from the node's list temporarily – even during a running simulation.

Visible

Disconnected nodes will be removed from the node list automatically, but you can force them to be kept by activating this checkbox.

Disable

This option completely disables a node’s functionality.

Reset

Restores the previous settings.

Submit

A click on this button passes your settings to the manager. You will probably have to press → "Reload" in the web-interface to make the changes visible.

Remove node

This link removes the currently edited node from the "Nodes" table.
