Hello friends, colleges, and co-workers at SGI Mountain View, It seems some of our customers are having some problems with NQS. Could someone who is more familiar with NQS help them out. I have provided this information to ISO customer support. These customers have no manuals as this software is only being used on a trial basis. Thanks again, Bruno Pape ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > In article <1990Oct2.152835@igc.ethz.ch>, torda@igc.ethz.ch (Andrew Torda) writes: > > Imagine one has sgi's port of NQS running on an iris and Sterling softwares > > original NQS running on a sun. > Applies also for CRAY and CONVEX NQS. > > > > Has anyone managed to persuade the iris to accept requests from the sun ? > > NQS on suns, crays and possibly others seems to put great weight on user id's > > machine id's and the nmapmgr (qmapmgr on cray) program to inform the batch > > system of this mapping. > Called qmapmgr on Convex as well. > > > > Sgi's port does not seem to provide such a mapping.
