Creating cluster over subnet, controller cant find cluster!

Everything is supposed to be running the same versions of QM (and FCP). But we've recently learned that the installer can be fooled into installing the late version of QM onto PPC machines. Look through the recent threads for the way to do this.

What version of FCS are we talking? 3?

Ok, it's making sense. What about using Digitalrebellion.com's FCS maintenance pack to remove QM from the one machine and reinstall it from the Shake disc? Or don't you have a timemachine backup?

I believe it's part of the pro apps: FCS, Logic, Shake, etc.
What I'm suggesting is leaving the minis alone. Removing QM from the MacBook Pro, and then using the same disc that you used to install QM on the minis to reinstall QM on the MacBook Pro. That may entail pulling more off than QM, like the whole prokit module. FCS Maintenance pack is good at pulling off selected sections.

Conversely, you could just try updating the minis with a later copy of QM. It's been noted that the later versions apparently work on PPC machines. However, the installer baulks and sees that PPC and refuses to continue the installation. Someone listed a workaround here very recently. And you could try doing a migration to the other machines. That might pull along the parts you need.

There's a checkbox for qm duringvthe standard installation process. Start anninstsll from the beginning and see what pops up to locate it

oh good. But it may have been updated with the later prokit, which means a tougher install on the PPC machines. I'll have to look for the workaround. I thought it was on here. I followed the discussion and I don't do that automatically on many boards. I'll take a look.

Lots of "discussion" over the value of trying to use an old G5, but if you go way down the thread it gets into a discussion of getting the installer to work (I think this is the one, I didn't reread the entire thing)

Right!
Carry on.
