  • Cloned render slaves trying to render the same frame

    Recently added some extra render slaves onto a virtual server. The first virtual pc works fine, but when we cloned this one, the new machine keeps trying to render the same frame. So PR01 starts a job, then PR02 tries to render the same frame and causes PR01 to drop out. PR01 then restarts and attempts to render the same frame causing PR02 to drop out. And so on. Both machines have separate MAC addresses (having run into this issue before with cloned pc's). The two machines were both sysprpeped, meaning they have completely separate identities in terms of windows. Is there a simple solution to this?

    I have managed to resolve this. I simply needed to delete the backburner.xml file on the new render slave and start the backburner server up again. When the machine was cloned it also cloned the xml file which reference the original MAC address.
