Can't start multi node SNOW cluster
I think you should use something like:
cl <- makeCluster(lapply(1:2, function(i) winOptions), type = "SOCK", manual=TRUE)
To allow options to be passed in with the host names, you need to specify a list of lists. Using "c(rep(winOptions, 2))" concatenates winOptions to itself which makes snow think that you're passing in a simple lists of hostnames.
Thanks, that works, but snow still can't start remote workers automatically.
