I wonder if anyone knows a good solution to manage a renderfarm on windows level. For example to start, restart
stop, kill process on more than one computer at once ?
Deadline's got a great remote command system where you can select any number of render nodes and start / stop / restart the nodes but also a remote command option where you can get all the nodes to run a command line - really handy for getting all machines to copy a plugin to a folder or run an installer.
Yeah but I don't think it manages DR. That would be great to have the ability to start stop DR. We do that through jobs though, where we just run a job on the farm and each machine runs the python script to start or kill hung up DR machines, which happens too often unfortunately.
Deadline allows you to run a command on the server as so you can start or stop any process. Works for DR as well and easily switchable. Might be a bit overkill for a small farm though.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I got the Refamo Demo yesterday and I´m really impressed so far. That´s exactly what we are looking for.
And we even got wake on LAN working with it. Also the price seems ok.
