Hi all. I'm having these problems and just wanted to know if I'm alone in this or if there are others experiencing the same (1.5 sp1). When (DR)ing a scene of anything from about 120mb and larger (and sometimes smaller) of any resolution for stills, and I use more than one DR node, they immediately come up with "not responding" errors. Sometimes if I only use 1 or 2 DR nodes, the slaves will render, but when I use more they drop out from the start. While rendering, I then physically restart one of the slaves, and then it eventually starts rendering the scene. As soon as that slave starts rendering, I then restart the next one, and so on and so on until they all eventually start rendering. If I restart them all at the same time, they dont render. So now as a rule whenever I use DR, as soon as I hit "render" I restart the slaves with about 2 - 3 minute intervals until they all render. This seems to be an intermittent problem mainly with complex and/or large scenes. Workstation has 8Gig RAM, Slaves have 4gig RAM. Even if I try with a workstation with 4Gig Ram, its the same. I also tried increasing dynamic memory. The IT guy assures me that the network switch has enough through-put. Its the same in the middle of the night when nobody else is using the server.
Workstation and slaves are WinXP 64. Also tried it with a Vista64 worstation, still the same.
Any thoughts?
