Yeah, I don't install it too. Also, the system is "headless" anyway (for Linux). So, CLI only
On the client machine, open the CLI, and stop the fahclient (if you installed it with "autostart").
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/FAHClient stop
Now, edit the config.xml (you might want to check the path, it's from Debian), using nano as an example. I'm also assuming you have the GPUs.txt already on your system.
Code:
sudo nano /etc/fahclient/config.xml
Change the GPU flag to true.
Add the following to allow remote access (replace the x.x.x.x with your admin workstation's IP, and xyz with your desired password).
Code:
<allow>127.0.0.1 x.x.x.x</allow>
<password>xyz</password>
Then, configure the advanced option and the slots (if you want to do it right away).
Code:
<client-type value=”advanced”/>
<slot id=”0” type=”GPU”>
<paused value=”true”/>
</slot>
<slot id=”1” type=”CPU”>
<paused value=”true”/>
</slot>
I'm setting everything to "paused" so I can do other changes before the system actually starts pulling work. Save, exit editing and restart fahclient.
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/FAHClient start
Now, you can fire up fahcontrol on your admin workstation and add the system to your client list by specifying its name, port & password. And then, it's all like you know it, just without the fahcontrol on your actual "box".
