The following platform combinations are supported when submitting jobs from an RSM client to an HPC submit host:
Windows to Windows
Linux to Linux
Windows to Linux
Submitting jobs from a Linux RSM client to a Windows submit host is not supported.
There are two ways in which you can configure communication between a Windows RSM client and a Linux submit host:
Method 1: Use RSM's built-in communication capability (recommended)
This method, which can be used for all supported platform combinations, is the most efficient way for a Windows RSM client to communicate with a Linux cluster.
To use this method, you must install the RSM launcher service on the Linux submit host. This eliminates the need for an external communication protocol such as SSH, and enables RSM to communicate directly with the submit host.
There are two options for starting the RSM launcher service on the Linux submit host:
OPTION A: Run the [RSMInstall]/RSM/Config/tools/linux/rsmlauncher script to manually start the RSM launcher service.
OPTION B: Configure RSM to start the RSM launcher service at boot.
For more information refer to Installing and Configuring the RSM Launcher Service for Linux.
Method 2: Use the SSH Protocol
This method is not recommended unless your organization's IT policy requires the use of SSH to communicate with the Linux resource. Using SSH will likely result in slower performance when launching processes and retrieving results.
For instructions, refer to Configuring RSM to Use SSH for Job Submission and/or File Transfers to a Remote Linux Cluster.
