The above XML element should be <Option Name="client-host"
Value="<a href="http://meteor.erdc.hpc.mil">meteor.erdc.hpc.mil</a>

also need an XML element specifying that you want to reverse the

I get the same identical error about connecting to localhost when I start
pvdataserver . 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. <br><br>

<dd>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>
<dd>From the command line, if I do<br>
<dd> On Irix: pvdataserver -rc --client-host=meteor<br>
<dd> On Linux: pvclient -rc --data-server-host=prism<br><br>
<dd>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>
<dd>Using a PVX file like so (named "dual.pvx"):<br>
<dd><?xml version="1.0" ?><br>

<dd> <Option Name="reverse-connection" /> <br>
<dd> <Process Type="client"><br>

<dd> </Process> <br>
<dd></pvx><br><br>
<dd>And then doing the following:<br>
<dd> On Linux: pvclient dual.pvx<br>
<dd> On Irix: pvserver dual.pvx or pvdataserver dual.pvx<br><br>
<dd>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>

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

<dd>I have no idea why it's trying to connect to localhost. I get
the same error whether I use pvserver or pvdataserver. <br><br>
