3.20.02 Cant connect slaves after the last render

[AndresAhumada]

hi again...

this message is very strange. Can you help me?

*** ALERT! Could not open INI file: "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2016\VRaySpawner.ini". Using defaults.

[vlado]

This one's ok, you can ignore it.

Best regards,
Vlado

[AndresAhumada]

hummm... ok thanks

[super gnu]

for me, versions are definitely the same between slaves and main workstation. and it was working until very recently.. problem approximately coincided with adding my second renderbox to the setup.

It looks like the render slave cannot connect to a license server (there's an error in the log about that). Either you didn't run the V-Ray license server, or the settings on the slave are wrong.

Best regards,
Vlado

[AndresAhumada]

Your are right!

sorry.... thx for all vlado.

I get exactly that error once in a while when I abort a render that´s started by script. This happens after we upgraded to Vray 3. Workstation and slaves have Version 3.10.03 installed.

[vlado]

It's a warning, not an error. You can ignore it typically.

This warning message appears when the job has been completed, but the file vray_server_scene.max is still in use and can''t be immediately deleted. Usually this is not a problem.

[AndresAhumada]

excuse

Again, the nodes do not want to connect after a render. Rejects the connection.

[vlado]

So what does the render log on the render slave say at that point?

Best regards,
Vlado

The complicated situation in the slaves. It is uninstalled older versions of Autodesk. But likewise continues to take folders that remain after the uninstall and ignore the new version 2016.

[AndresAhumada]

other slave say this in logfile

[tashko.zashev]

Usually the V-Ray spawner need some time to release the memory and restart and if you submit the next job before this process is done, the spawner will refuse to render with the error you see in the log.
How long have you waited between the DR jobs?

Would it be possible to run another test where the pause between the render jobs is at least 20 seconds?
