Q: How to set up Qmaster with Terminal in Mavericks
I have a Mac Pro 5,1, 12-core with 24 GB of RAM and am trying to set up Qmaster to fully use my CPUs as a quickcluster. My current Qmasterprefs as indicated in Terminal are listed below and I'm looking for someone who can help me with the Terminal commands needed to be entered to set it up.
Martys-Mac-Pro:~ mepace$ qmasterprefs -list
Current settings:
-allowBonjourDiscovery on
-sharingType servicesAndQuickCluster
-launchContentAgent off
-log 3 truncate on
-statusMenu on
Exception: no config file entry for service "jobcontroller:com.apple.qmaster.cluster.admin"
Compressor, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Tested some more, and found that I had to do a little more for QuickClustering (I had only set my test system up as a node). We'll need to set the QuickCluster name, so change the last part above to:
qmasterprefs -cluster on quickclusterservername "Martys Mac Pro Cluster"
If you don't see that cluster name in your Qmaster menu, try this too:
qmasterprefs -resetCluster
Let me know how it goes!
