JMeter with Not Gui mode for ant task doesn't run on slave node

You need to run "jmeter-server" on both Jmeter master & client machine.

and then execute your script like this.

./jmeter -n -t jmeterscript.jmx -R 172.0.0.1(master-ip),(slave-ip) -l logfile.jtl

reference:http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/remote-test.html

The solution was next:

1. on the Slaves machines correct jmeter-server:

   DIRNAME=dirname $0

   RMI_HOST_DEF=-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=10.6.216.XXX

   ${DIRNAME}/jmeter ${RMI_HOST_DEF} -Dserver_port=60000 -s -j jmeter-server.log "$@"

just uncomment RMI_HOST_DEF and assign the IP address of this machine, and specify port - 60000 (default one).

On the main workstation (Windows 8.1) adapted test plan to Slaves architecture (CentOS 6) - updated all resources paths to Unix style and locate them the same way for everyone slave instance.

2. Correct the remote-hosts with IP addresses and port for main mashine:

   remote_hosts=10.6.216.XXX:60000,10.6.216.XXX:60000

3. Start jmeter-server on all slaves:

   [user@ECSC00103331 ~]$ jmeter-serverUsing local port: 60000Created remote object: UnicastServerRef [liveRef: [endpoint:10.6.216.40:60000,objID:[2f100b79:15630b4bb73:-7fff, 6552789263830402879]]]

   Also increased ulimit value for every instance:

ulimit -u 50000

By default, it was 1024. You can check it with ulimit -a command.

4. Start run from JMeter UI - Run -> Remote Start All. Snippet from CentOS console:

   Starting the test on host 10.6.216.XXX:60000 @ Thu Jul 28 11:53:12 MSK 2016 (1469695992526)SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings.SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:/etc/jmeter/lib/slf4j-nop-1.7.5.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/Fx-Performance-Tests-RMI/workspace/fx-performance-tests/lib/slf4j-log4j12-1.7.10.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#multiple_bindings for an explanation.SLF4J: Actual binding is of type [org.slf4j.helpers.NOPLoggerFactory]Uncaught Exception org.apache.jorphan.util.JMeterError: Could not return sample.

It works even with this strange exception.
