distributedR Multiple-Machine Mode Installation

in General Discussion
DistributedR Multiple-Machine Mode Install difficulties. I have both run single-node installation successfully on each machine and enabled password-less and prompt-less logins between all nodes with rsa keys for each on each. When I specify the cluster.xml file, any IP addresses that are not 127.0.0.1 fail.

    Can you please paste the cluster.xml file you specified?

    Hello Jesse,
       Sorry that you are facing issues with multi-node installation. Can you tell us the error that shows up on the R console (does it time out after 60 seconds or are there other messages)? Can you send us the information present in :
    1) log file /tmp/R_master_*, /tmp/R_worker_*, /tmp/R_executor_*
    2) your cluster.xml file

    Thanks,
    Indrajit

    Thank you Jesse for the information.

    By looking at the logs, it seems that the worker server20 was trying to handshake with master server18 but failed.  One possible cause for this is that the master machine is blocking the request into port 5555 from external machines.  Can you try using other port numbers for the master (including 0)?

    We also noticed an issue in the config.xml file that 127.0.0.1 is used for a worker node.  This will block communications between workers because worker server20 doesn't know 127.0.0.1 is server18 and it thinks 127.0.0.1 as itself. Even though you can start the workers, there will be issues later on when you try to create distributed objects and assign values.

    We also ran the cluster.xml on our cluster of machines and can start the workers successfully:
    > library(distributedR)
    Loading required package: Rcpp
    Loading required package: RInside
    > distributedR_start(cluster_conf='issue.xml')
    Workers registered - 2/2.
    All 2 workers are registered.

    Thank You. Port 5555 wasn't listening. And when I chose Port 0, it still wouldn't work. After I opened port 5555, it worked. Thank you.

    Thank you Jesse.  Glad to know that it's working now.  Just curious about port 0 still not working.  Can you please paste the log for port 0?  Thanks.

    I believe that even when choosing port 0 that the computer was selecting a port that was inaccessible to the worker nodes.

    Thank you Jesse. Yes it looks the same issue and the dynamic port chosen is not open to the workers.
