DR not using all servers

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max Issues
1

Our IT guys physically moved my renderfarm and gave them new IP addresses. Since then, using DR to render, only one of the servers actually renders even though the other five are connected and the scene is transferred to them. I’ve attached the Vray log. Only server xx.51 (or 501) and the workstation render anything. Task manager on the other five show no activity. Any ideas? Edit: Vr 1.5 sp5

Have you tested the network speed since you moved the machines (you can try to copy some files from the client machine to the render slaves manually and see how it goes). Are there any messages in the V-Ray log file on the render slaves?

Ah hah. Can’t obtain a license.

warning: DR request received from x.x.x.x, but currently busy with 0.0.0.0 error: Could not obtain a license (10060). (IP replaced with xxxx)

Thanks Vlado. I had to change the IP address of the license server in the Vray license server information. The one server that worked had an alternate license server 1 with the computer name instead of the IP address.

Ok then, good to know that it’s solved now :slight_smile:

Best regards,

Sorry to resurrect this old thread but I’m now getting this error: “Could not obtain a license (-209)” on five of my six render nodes. All are configured identically and the V-Ray license server info dialog all point to the correct license server. I’m completely at a loss to know what to do.

Found the problem. Had to remove and reinstall the license service. Thx.
