QNET questions

Hi,

We have 2 machines running QNX RTP and we set up QNET.
What I did was:

#mount -Tio-net /live/dll/npm-qnet.so

Then I was able to see the other node in /net
But have 2 questions.

  1. How can I execute the process of the other node? For example, if I try to
    run “ped” process of the other node, how do I do it? If successful, I shoud
    see that pid on the other node, not on my node, correct?

  2. After setting up qnet for the two machines, both can access to local area
    network ( company intranet) but no longer able to connect the external
    network ( the internet).
    Is there something wrong with my setting? Can someone explain how to solve
    it?


    Thank you very much!

You mean you want to start a process that running on remote
machine? Both 2 below will working

on -n remote /usr/photon/bin/ped
on -n remote /net/remote/usr/photon/bin/ped

please note this only “spawn” a process in remote (yes, you
will see the pid in “remote” if you go to “remote” do a pidin,
or you do a pidin -n remote), but all local env will inherit.

you must using RTP 6.1 to do the remote spawn.

I would say starting check out “netstat -ni”, “netstat -nr” output.
I don’t think QNET have anything to do with it.
