I setup a distributed load testing environment using JMeter. I am using Three Linux Machines (RedHat)(IPs:xxx.xxx.xxx.121
,xxx.xxx.xxx.122
,xxx.xxx.xxx.123
) using Secured Shell from my Windows 8.1.
I have fulfilled the prerequisite to perform Distributed test:
- All machines(Client & Slaves) are in the same subnet.
- Firewall is disabled for all machines.
- JMeter(2.13) and JDk version(1.6.0_25) are same for all.
Client(Master) Machine :xxx.xxx.xxx.123
Server(Slave) Machines: xxx.xxx.xxx.122,xxx.xxx.xxx.121
I did the following:
1) Added the following to client (master) jmeter.properties file:
remote_hosts= xxx.xxx.xxx.122,xxx.xxx.xxx.121
2) Added the following to servers (in each slave machines) jmeter-server:
RMI_HOST_DEF=-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=xxx.xxx.xxx.123
(Client Machine IP)
3) Then started jmeter-server from those two Slave machines(xxx.xxx.xxx.122,xxx.xxx.xxx.121) using this command
./jmeter-server
and get following output.Which means the slave machines are started.
Output of xxx.xxx.xxx.121:
Created remote object: UnicastServerRef [liveRef: [endpoint:[xxx.xxx.xxx.123:41864](local),objID:[1707296d:154c281318b:-7fff, -8101068266055605468]]]
Output of xxx.xxx.xxx.122:
Using local port: 4000
Created remote object: UnicastServerRef [liveRef: [endpoint:[xxx.xxx.xxx.123:4000](local),objID:[-2a2acf13:154c285ffa2:-7fff, 2939294752655639469]]]
Now I ran the following command from client machine(xxx.xxx.xxx.123) to start remote tests.
./jmeter -n -t RemoteTest.jmx -r
It provided me with the following output:
Creating summariser <summary>
Created the tree successfully using RemoteTest.jmx

So what could be the exact solution to overcome this Exception. I have spent the last two days exploring StackOverflow and Stack Exchange for similar kind of questions and already tried almost all of the possible solutions but still can't get rid of this exception.Actually, I failed!!!!So please be specific and detail at your answers.
