Dear Paraviewers,
I am trying to run Paraview in a client-server mode on a remote compute node
using a reverse SSH through the login node.
I have successfully worked out my port forwarding skulduggery and was able to
connect to a host which does NOT run X server. Inside my local client. I do get
an error
"Display is not accessible on the server side. Remote rendering
will be disabled"
This is to be expected on the node without X.
On the node with X running my client gets connected but then breaks with:
Waiting for client...
Connection URL: cs://pgc104:22226
Accepting connection(s): pgc104:22226
Client connected.
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
...
(core dumped)
Finally on the login node client-server works fine and rendering (I guess)
is done on the remote side as I don't get any errors. We have made sure that
xorg.conf on login and X-enabled compute node are the same.
My connection procedure:
local% ssh -L 22226:localhost:22226 login_node
login% bsub -R "select[hname=pgc104]" -Is /bin/bash
pgc104% ssh -N -R 22226:localhost:22226 login &
pgc104% DISPLAY=:0.0 pvserver -sp=22226 --use-offscreen-rendering
local% paraview->connect to localhost:22226
Same thing works on pgc304 which doesn't run X. Please let us know if you have
any suggestions.
Best wishes,
Robert
