## Chapter 8: Integrating EKM with Remote Solve Manager (RSM)

ANSYS Remote Solve Manager (RSM) provides the central framework for job submission in EKM. Jobs submitted to RSM via EKM are always submitted to a cluster. A cluster can be a single machine (even the local machine), or a group of networked machines. At the head of any cluster is a submit host, which handles job scheduling. Cluster information is defined in a cluster configuration file in RSM.

Every RSM installation has one predefined cluster configuration named `localhost`. This configuration uses a basic ANSYS RSM Cluster (ARC) in which the local machine is the cluster submit host, and jobs are submitted jobs to the local machine for execution. Consequently, you will always see a queue named `Local` in EKM.

The first time that the EKM server is started, it will automatically synchronize with RSM to acquire queues defined in RSM. RSM queues are linked to cluster queues and configurations.

For general information about what RSM does and how it is used, refer to RSM Overview in the RSM User's Guide.

Topics in this chapter include:

- Supported Platforms
- Steps for Setting Up Batch Job Submission
- EKM and RSM Job Directories

Note:

- An EKM server only needs to be configured to use RSM if the server’s user-accessible workspace is being used, and jobs are being submitted from it. If an EKM server is being used for caching only, RSM does not need to be configured on that server. For more information about server configurations, see Distributed Servers and Workspace Access.

- RSM has changed significantly in Release 18. To learn about the key changes, see Important Changes for R17 Users in the RSM User's Guide.
