Entering host names

 

The next step in using PADE to compile and run the manager/worker example program is to enter the file-transfer and command information into the PADE Setup window. Choose the Setup button in the PADE main window. This will cause the PADE Setup window to appear. This window is shown in Fig. 5.7.

The first task that must be performed is to enter the names of the hosts of the user's virtual machine into the PADE Setup window. It is essential that these names match those known to PVM. The user can determine these names by entering the ``conf'' command at the PVM console prompt. An example of the result is as follows.

pvm> conf
4 hosts, 1 data format
       HOST            DTID     ARCH   SPEED
mithrandir.nist.org   40000     RS6K    1000
galadriel.nist.org    80000     SUN4    1000
shadowfax.nist.org    c0000     SUN4    1000
elrond.nist.org      100000    SGIMP    1000
pvm>
Now the user should carefully copy the names found this way into the Setup window. To do this, select the Add Host button in this window. The PADE Add Host window will appear. Enter the first host name exactly as it appears in the list exhibited in the PVM console window. For the purposes of this tutorial, entering host commands will be deferred to a later step. Now the user should choose the Save button in the PADE Add Host window. The window will exit and the host name just typed in that window will now appear as the first entry in the PADE Setup window. This procedure should be repeated until all hosts listed in the PVM console window are also listed in the Setup window.
