A proper pools file example in the wiki for multiple mining rigs would also be helpful. I currently have a separate poolsX file for every GPU. This works but there must be a simpler method.
One simpler method is to just have one pools file and use it for all your GPUs. You only need separate files if you actually want each GPU going to a different pool.
Feeling rather dense tonight. So if I create one pool file for 9 miners on Deepbit the three separate machines hosting the 9 GPUs will read the file (on each machine, haven't done a single config file yet) and they will all 9 find a miner account on Deepbit? I must be missing something.
you need one pools file per machine, though the managed config option can help you get a single central file onto all the machines. for instance I have one pools file running 12 machines with total of 30 GPUs. it is stored on a server, and all the rigs pull the file using rsync. this is through the managed_config_command in bamt.conf.
a simpler compromise would be to just copy the same pools file onto all your machines, if you don't change pools a lot that will work fine.
)all working fine. the 5870 and one 6870 are running via X1 pci extenders with molex from calbesaurus. No jumping or anything needed.
