Step 10. Choose Support for Remote Command Execution

The manager can be installed with support for executing jobs on a remote OpenVMS node. If you want to use the manager to control jobs on one or more of these remote nodes, answer YES to this question. This feature of the manager requires that a supported TCP/IP stack be installed on your system. If it is, the installation asks the following question:

* Do you want support for remote Agent command execution [YES]?

If you answer YES to this question, and a supported TCP/IP stack is not installed on ALL the nodes of your cluster, be sure that the Job Management Manager default node is one on which the supported TCP/IP stack is running. If this is not the case, remote operations will not work since the default node handles all remote node operations.

To check which node is the default node, type the command:

$ SCHEDULER SHOW STATUS

The default node name will be indicated by “<-- DEFAULT” in the output. To force the default Job Management Manager node to a particular node, type the command:

$ SCHEDULER SET DEFAULT node_name

where node_name is the new default node.
