The new distributed rendering system

Licensing Licensing :: Issues

I have been trying all day to get the new DR to system to work, with no luck at all.

Are there any instructions? Have been trying to understand the new documentation with the remote dispatcher - not making sense. Tried to spawn up a command line with flags…

There is no reaction what so ever on the DR nodes. Spawner is just listening on the set portnumber never getting any jobs.

What has changed and how do i use it? The goal is simply to add another DR slave from within 3dsmax 2027 and utilize both the workstation and slave.

Both running latest stable.

Port numbers have changed. Do you use the new ones?

Okay i see.

Running V-Ray GPU 7, Update 4 DR2.

The slave is running “vray.exe -server -portNumber=20206” (default GPU distributed shortcut)

Firewall opened ports 20203 ,20204, 20206, 20208, 20209 on both ends, and now firewall disabled entirely for testing.

So when i add the server i in the render dialog i use the same port 20206.

But the Log never shows it ever connecting to that port - it shows this warning over and over again:

[10:28:58.389] Warning : Server 10.10.0.156:20209: OS error 10061; connection refused

[10:28:58.389] Warning : Server 10.10.0.156:20209: OS error 10061; connection refused

[10:29:30.912] Warning : Server 10.10.0.156:20209: OS error 10061; connection refused

If i then add the entire port range in the render dialog instead, it shows this - but still never actually tries on the correct port, which is 20206:

[10:26:46.759] Warning : Server 10.10.0.156:20209: OS error 10061; connection refused

[10:27:03.039] Warning : Server 10.10.0.156:20203: OS error 10061; connection refused

Noticed this after clean up when cancelling render:

[10:32:16.401] Warning : Server 10.10.0.156:20209: err 0xFFF

Try running with -portNumber=20209

Still no luck. I did a re-install on both machines and now it works on port 20209.

What went wrong (according to logs) - The master never connected to the slave on the set port. When multiple ports were set, it kept trying every other port, except for the correct one. No network related issues.

Well case closed, re-install did it. Thanks.
