Step 4 of 9: Adding Hosts

To start pvm, all you have to do is to type pvm at the command tool prompt. You will then get the prompt pvm>.  This process may take some time, so be patient.  The prompt pvm> indicates that the pvm daemon has started.  To exit, type quit and you will exit the pvm interface, however, the daemon will still be running in the background.

The simplest way to add additional hosts, is to add them manually through the command prompt. Type     add machine at the pvm prompt, i.e. at pvm>, where machine is the name of the machine you wish to add.

 For example,

The line above would add the machine pvm1 to your virtual system.
