The PE filesets are installed in the /usr file system. When the ppe.poe fileset is installed, it adds entries to the /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf files. When poe is executed, a copy of the Partition Manager daemon is run on each remote node, and is identified in these files.
If you are using NIS or another master server for /etc/services, you need to create updates with the same information that is put into the individual files.
If you do not use a shared file system, you need to copy the user's executable files to the other nodes. To copy these files, you can use the PE message-passing-file copy command mcp or the PSSP commands dsh and pcp. For more information about copying the file system and about mcp, see IBM Parallel Environment for AIX: Operation and Use, Volume 1. For information about dsh and pcp, see IBM Parallel System Support Programs for AIX: Command and Technical Reference.
You can also declare these files part of a file collection. A file collection is a set of files and directories that are duplicated on multiple machines in a network. They are managed by tools that simplify their control and maintenance. For more information about file collections, see IBM Parallel System Support Programs for AIX: Administration Guide.
