I've been having intermittent network rendering problems for a while, sometimes they will sometimes they won't. But there doesn't seem to be any consistency to nail this problem.
Setup: max 9 & BB 2007.0.1 on all nodes (1 ws - 2 slaves)
XPpro sp2 on all but one which as XP home (on 1 slave, but I don't think this should be an issue)
Vray 1.50sp1 (dongle)
So today one of the my many renders fails (I actually watch the slave do the IR pass and render the job), but when it comes to save the file to the workstation it errors: BB monitor flags this error:-
error 1 "The specified network path is no longer available (0x40)" - even though it's been saving and loading to it all day.
It then kicks in the retry of the same job - I watch it do the IR pass and complete the render, when it finishes BB monitor flags this error:-
error 2 "[vray]error reading HDRI rgbe data from file (unc path to workstation)" - again its been using this file no problem on other jobs during the day and in the past.
3rd time lucky, BB starts the 3rd retry - I watch it do the IR pass and complete the render, now it saves okay? I don't get it, why does it fail on 2 different things and then does it no problem. Nothing has changed it the same BB job.
I get this problem a lot with my nodes but have never been able to pin it down. Is it BB, VRAY or my network and how do I fix it?
thx.
