Hi there,

I have a question concerning the set up of vray swarm on the render nodes (and one small problem):

I’m running a small renderfarm with a master node and 4 render nodes (rendercubes of cadnetwork: [CADnetwork CAD Workstations und Renderfarm Server - RenderCube](https://www.cadnetwork.de/en/products-en/rendernodes/rendercube)) and I would love to create some kind of wake on and sleep mode whenever the nodes are requested / not in use. I would like to avoid to use some RDP for every single node to run or to shut down the system because it gets a bit annoying. Any suggestions?

Another problem I had was the autostart of the vray swarm. I had to manually start the swarm service on each node to be found in the network by the master node. This also is quite annoying and I’m sure it is supposed to run as an autostart process whenever the machine starts.

Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks  
Toni

Hello, Toni,

I’ve passed your feedback to our V-Ray Swarm developers. Thank you for posting!

Regarding your problem with the service automatic start, this sounds like a permission issue. What version of V-Ray Swarm are you using?  
Could you please send an email at [support@chaosgroup.com](mailto:support@chaosgroup.com) so my colleagues can follow up on this?

Kind regards,  
Peter

Hi Peter,

Ok sounds good. So you don’t have anything in mind concerning the wake on / sleep mode, right?  
Anybody else?

Best  
Toni

All I can say is that it is currently not possible. The developers will discuss pursuing a solution in this direction.
