JMeter Master Slave configuration is not working in CentOS

I set up a Master-Slave load testing environment using JMeter. I am using 3 CentOS machines with following IP's

xxx.xxx.xxx.1 (Master)
xxx.xxx.xxx.2 (Slave1)
xxx.xxx.xxx.3 (Slave2)

Here are the steps I did.

1) Added the following to the slaves jmeter.properties file:

remote_hosts=xxx.xxx.xxx.1

2) Added the following to master jmeter-server file

#RMI_HOST_DEF=-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=xxx.xxx.xxx.2 `

Then when I'm executing the following command from the /apache-jmeter-2.13/bin folder of xxx.xxx.xxx.2 Slave machine.(I don't have root user access have only SUDO root access) 

sudo ./jmeter-server

I'm getting the error

./jmeter-server: line 32: ./jmeter: Permission denied

Is my Master-Slave setup is correct? Am I doing something wrong here? Do I need to do anything else to setup master-slave?

Solution

  • Add the following to client (master) jmeter.properties file:

    remote_hosts= xxx.xxx.xxx.2,xxx.xxx.xxx.3

    Add the following to servers (in each slave machines) jmeter-server:

    RMI_HOST_DEF=-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=xxx.xxx.xxx.2 for (Slave1)

    &

    RMI_HOST_DEF=-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=xxx.xxx.xxx.3 for (Slave2)

    Then start jmeter-server.sh from those two Slave

    machines(xxx.xxx.xxx.2,xxx.xxx.xxx.3) using this command

    ./jmeter-server

    Then ran the following command from the client machine(xxx.xxx.xxx.1) to start remote start all the slaves.

    ./jmeter -n -t <testscript.jmx> -r
