[Paraview] Client/server on SGI

[Vines, John (Civ, ARL/CISD)]

Amy/All,
  When I start a Paraview client session, on the same machine running the server(mpirun -np 10 pvserver), and force compositing ( by moving the silder to 0 in the GUI ) multiple render windows appear on my desktop.  I'm not sure what I've missed?
 
Thanks very much for the help,
 
John

	Hi John,
	
	You are only required to use the .pvx file if you are running ParaView in a CAVE or if you are running in client / data server / render server mode.  To start the client on the same machine as your pvserver, just open a new shell, and run the pvclient executable.  If it's all on the same machine, you shouldn't even need to specify the server host to the client.  So, you should do the following.
	
	mpirun -np 10 pvserver
	pvclient
	
	Are there specific command-line options you're trying to use?  Do you have other specific questions about starting ParaView?
	
	- Amy

		All, 
		        I have recently compiled the CVS version of Paraview and need to run in client server mode on an SGI.  I'm getting lost in the command line configuration, ".pvx" files etc.
		
		        The SGI has 16 processors so I want to start the server up using 10 processors - "mpirun -np 10 pvserver".  I'm not sure how to start the client running on the same machine, what command line arguments do I need?
		
		Thanks in advance for any help,
