Getting Started Quickly

Step 3:

Add service nodes to the cluster

On each computer that you would like to make a service node on your cluster, do
the following:

1

Open System Preferences.

2

Click the Apple Qmaster button, located in the Other section.

The Apple Qmaster pane appears.

3

If the pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock in the lower-left corner to enter
the administrator name and password.

4

Click the Services Only radio button.

5

Click Start Sharing.

This creates a service node that will automatically process jobs submitted to the
QuickCluster you set up in “

Configure a QuickCluster

” on page 17.

Step 4:

Create a batch

In the Compressor Batch window, or in the Apple Qmaster window, create a batch with
one or more jobs. See the Compressor 2 User Manual or the Apple Qmaster 2 User
Manual
for details.
