Before setting up the cluster, ensure that the following requirements are met:
You must have full Administrator and/or sudo rights on all of the nodes in the cluster.
All of the nodes in the cluster must have the same operating system.
Ansys software must be installed on the Master node and all Execution nodes. The Ansys installation directory should be the same on all machines (for example, /apps/ansys_inc or C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc).
For additional considerations, see Important Considerations and Requirements for the Ansys RSM Cluster (ARC).
