Hi,

I want to start a Fluent session on a remote linux node with my python code running from a Windows VDI.

I can to this via commandline with or without Slurm queue:

fluent 3d -g -rsh="plink -batch -i private_key.ppk -l testuser -v" -nodepath=/ansys_inc/v242/fluent -node0=10.0.23.135 -setenv="FLUENT_REMOTE_SSH=1" -scheduler=slurm -scheduler_account=testuser -nm

When I translate this to a launch_fluent command:

slurm = pyfluent.launch_fluent(precision="double",
                               processor_count=2,
                               mode="solver",
                               product_version='24.2',
                               additional_arguments='-rsh="plink -batch -i private_key.ppk -l testuser -N -v" -nodepath=/ansys_inc/v242/fluent -node0=10.0.23.135 -setenv="FLUENT_REMOTE_SSH=1"'
                               )

I am unable to spawn the processes on the Linux node, the processes on the Windows machine just seem to idle:

Reading key file "private_key.ppk"
Using username "testuser".
Offered public key
Offer of public key accepted
Authenticating with public key "rsa-key-20241111"
Sent public key signature
Access granted
Remote debug message: /home/testuser/.ssh/authorized_keys:1: key options: agent-forwarding port-forwarding pty user-rc x11-forwarding
Remote debug message: /home/testuser/.ssh/authorized_keys:1: key options: agent-forwarding port-forwarding pty user-rc x11-forwarding
Check your network connections and remote shell configuration.
If you are on a slow network or running through a scheduler like lsf or sge, you may choose to wait.
Type Ctrl-C to interrupt.

Any advice would be welcome

Best Regards
