According to the distproc.pdf, I do such setting:
1. modify /etc/hosts.equiv so that I may rlogin to other machines without
password;
2.set up the nfs server and I can read/write any data on every machine;
3.set one NTP server and make others as client to sync the time;
4.write file 'queue_config'as this:
fast 3
host1 2
host2 3
host3 5
5.edit ~/.cshrc and setenv LBS_CLUSTER_MASTER 'my_host_name' and setenv
CDS_QUEUE_CONF_FILE ~/queue_config
6.run 'su' and get root to run cdsqmgr ~harry/queue_config;
7.Open one schematic and run distributed simulation.
At the window of 'Choosing Simulator/Directory/Host', I run 'Check setup'
and get such info:
##############################################################################
Checking Distributed Processing (DP) setup..........

Using variable CDS_QUEUE_CONF_FILE as this is set to

********************************************************************************
The queue config file identified is /export/home/harry/queue_config
This may not be correct due to the OS command's (ps) limitations.
You can set the env variable CDS_QUEUE_CONF_FILE to specify the queue config
file used by the cdsqmgr daemon running on host

I don't know if I miss something, actually when I run adptest, I get such
info:

$ adptest

BEGIN Artist Distributed Processing Setup Test

Testing for existence of LBS_CLUSTER_MASTER variable...
PASSED.

Testing opening of Artist Job Server...
Launching Artist job server...
Artist job server has initialized!
PASSED.

Please be patient - the remaining portion of the test takes some time.

Testing job submission to host `host1' on queue `fast'...
PASSED.
*Error* MPS: bad Handle - mpsBAD:0x0x8202018
*Error* load: error while loading file -
"/export/cdsdir/tools/dfII/etc/tools/adp/adptest_enc.ils"

I can visit file "/export/cdsdir/tools/dfII/etc/tools/adp/adptest_enc.ils"
also.

I have no more idea to this. Who may help me or give me some advice? Thanks
for your help!

Have a good day!

Best Regards,

Harry

I saw a whole bunch of suggestions in one of the spectre FAQ docs on
sourcelink on how to debug distributed sim problems. I found those to
be quite helpful.. Have you checked that and tried out the suggestions?
Some that I remember
- did you try killing the cdsnamemgr process as well before restarting
the cdsqmgr?

Also I got an error while I did the "check setup" utility (something
about being unable to identify the OS). But when I really ran the
simulation from the Artist menu, the distributed sim ran without any
problem. Not sure if you tried that..
