So I've dumbed mine situation down to a simpler case, just to try & get this to work. I want to run a Data Server on an SGI Irix (named Prism) and do all the rendering & client on a linux machine (named Meteor). <br>
<br>From the command line, if I do<br> On Irix: pvdataserver -rc --client-host=meteor<br> On Linux: pvclient -rc --data-server-host=prism<br><br>It starts, but the Irix machine wants to do the rendering, which fails because I don't have an X display (I'm just SSH'ed in remotely).
<br><br>Using a PVX file like so (named "dual.pvx"):<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><?xml version="1.0" ?></span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><pvx></span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> <Option Name="reverse-connection" /></span>
<br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> <Process Type="client"></span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<Machine Name="<a href="http://meteor.erdc.hpc.mil">meteor.erdc.hpc.mil</a>" /></span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> </Process>
</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> <Process Type="data-server"></span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<Machine Name="<a href="http://prism.erdc.hpc.mil">prism.erdc.hpc.mil</a>" /></span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> </Process></span>
<br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"></pvx></span><br></div><br>And then doing the following:<br> On Linux: pvclient dual.pvx<br> On Irix: pvserver dual.pvx
or pvdataserver dual.pvx<br><br>The client starts just fine on Linux, and goes into the waiting state (because of the Reverse Connection). But the server always fails with the following error:<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">
