Backburner / Renderfarm, vray 3 issue

[Jon Berntsen]

Hi

 

We have a render farm set up this way:

node1, node2, node3, ws1, ws2.

 

Manager and server is running on node1, and we ship the job with distributed rendering ticked on node2, node3, ws1 and ws2. This means, node1 is running a distributed render to the other ones who are connected with spawner.

 

When I render with dr from my ws, all nodes kicks in. When I submit to node1, no nodes kicks in.

Node1 is mapped to the server, it has ws1 ip and ws2 pc name in the vray client license settings, and both those ws are running one dongle and license server each.

 

I am totally lost now, I have tried everything. Any ideas? It used to work before I updated to max SP3 on all of them.

On the workstations where we have license managers up and running, it seems fine, except from that I don't have the option Shut down server. I only have "Get status of the server". I feel that I am missing out on something here.
