As for the command line, as I stated in the email that does work, aside from wanting to do the rendering where the DAtaserver is. So again, how do I get the Dataserver on Prism, but Rendering & Client on Meteor?
<br><br>Just an observation, but a "strings * | grep render-server" comes up with nothing (aside from the command-line arguments) on the linux packages distributed via the website, but the compilation that I did on our Irix shows a "render-server" line right around the "client" and "data-server" lines, right next to a vtkPVOptionsXMLParser. Is the render-server somehow disabled in that release? I'm currently attempting to compile it myself on the linux system.

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>
<?xml version="1.0" ?><br>
<pvx><br>
<Option Name="reverse-connection" /> <br>
<Process Type="client"><br>
<Machine
Name="<a href="http://meteor.erdc.hpc.mil" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">meteor.erdc.hpc.mil</a>
" /><br>
</Process> <br>
<Process Type="data-server"><br>
<Machine
Name="<a href="http://prism.erdc.hpc.mil" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">prism.erdc.hpc.mil</a>
" /><br>
</Process> <br>
</pvx><br><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>
[11:14:32am]% pvserver dual.pvx<br>
Connect to localhost:11111<br>

The default host (--client-host, in this case) is localhost. You either
need to specify --client-host=<i>client_host_name</i> on the server
command line or add it to the .pvx file: <Option
Name="reverse-connection"
Value=<i>client_host_name</i>/>.<br><br>
