For successful job submission to an HPC resource via RSM, the RSM application must be installed on the same machine where the client application (for example, Workbench) is installed.
If jobs will be submitted to a remote cluster, then the RSM launcher service must also be installed and running on the cluster submit host. This does not apply if SSH is being used for client-to-HPC communication, or if the remote HPC resource is a Cloud.
Important: If after installing RSM and starting the RSM launcher service you wish to install another Ansys product using the Ansys unified installer, make sure that you stop the RSM launcher service before proceeding with the installation, and then restart it after the installation. See Installing and Configuring the RSM Launcher Service.
