I'm looking at setting up a small farm - 2 computers. Both need a domain log-on as a security measure, so I'm looking to install deadline client as a windows service. I noticed this in the installation docs:
Is Vray CPU a 'hardware renderer' in this definition? Can anyone comment on whether installation as a service works?
My reason is that if one of the machines crashes I want it to be able to reboot and pick up the jobs again.
There is also an issue with hardware-based renderers. Starting with Windows Vista, services now run in a virtualized environment which prevents them from accessing hardware resources. Because the renderer will run in the context of a service, hardware-based renderers will typically fail to work.
My reason is that if one of the machines crashes I want it to be able to reboot and pick up the jobs again.
