Ug. you're using the multicore option to start the servers! I believe that this forces remote rendering off. That would explain your issues. Could you try duisabling the multi core option and start your servers manually?

OK, one possibility is that it may be related to remote rendering settings. Under menu Edit->Settings->Render View->Server there is a remote render threshold. I always set this to 0 bytes to ensure remote parallel rendering. What's yours set to?

Sorry, I didn't explain it properly. I have already tried to connect to a pvserver from a GUI running on the client (without an ssh connection then) but it also drains the memory on Xorg. What is the load supposed to be on a client-pvserver connection?
Thanks,

    Jean,

    What you describe is expected. X forwarding doesn't work well for
    visualizing large datasets. The point is : don't use X
    forwarding. The links show how to configure the client server
    connection without X forwarding. Make sure that there is no -X on
    the ssh command line.

    When I do that Xorg process on the client drains the memory up
    until it crashes. The connection I think is properly established
    since it works fine for smaller datasets. What should the load
    on the client be in that case?

        Yes, this is expected. The OpenGL calls get piped to your
        local system. This includes data like vertices and colors as
        well. X forwarding doesn't give good performance and with
        large data it may not even be feasible.

        You need to set up client server connection.

        Hi all,
        I have a rather large unstructured pvtu dataset (about 4
        million points) which I am visualizing on a remote server.
        I am running the paraview GUI (with the multicore option)
        on the server and I connect to it via ssh sharing the X
        server. In this way I can control the GUI running on the
        serve. I thought that with this configuration I would only
        receive a screenshot of the window and no actual data from
        paraview but the client seems to share at least some of the
        load of the visualization. Is this the expected behaviour?
        How can I avoid loading data on the client side?
        Thanks in advance,
