Distributed rendering stopped working

[menno_vandijk]

Hi, I have been running 2 systems (1 workstation and 1 render system) for the last 2 months fine. A few days ago the render host stopped responding.
The first things I tried is resetting the network, restarting the systems etc.

The current state is the following messages in the log:

Render host xx.xxx.x.x:2024 added
Scene transferred to renderserver:2024
Server xx.xxx.x.x:2024: Scene loaded; starting render
Server xx.xxx.x.x:2024: Starting frame 49
Warning : Render host renderserver (xx.xxx.x.x.:2024) is not responding

So this seem that there is some communication between the systems and the scene is transferred. But at some point the timeout occurs

Where might this behavior coming form?

Hello,

Your log shows that you are using port 2024 for distributed rendering. V-Ray for 3ds Max uses port 20204, by default, for distributed rendering. Please make sure that all machines are set to use port 20204 in the distributed rendering settings of 3ds Max.

Also, please make sure that the V-Ray Render Server (V-Ray Spawner) is running on the problematic machine.

If you have entered the correct port (20204) and the spawner is running on the Render server machine but you still experience issues with distributed rendering - please open an official ticket via our support system here

Hi Nikolay, thank you for your reply. the 2024 is a typo on my side, it states 20204. I'll open a support ticket

It seems like it has something to do with running Vrayspawner 2023 and Vrayspawner 2024 at the same time. Disabling the one you are not using seem to resole the issue.
