Hi, I recently wrote to the guys at Thinkbox software: Deadline, to get a free evaluation from them. I got the software download link, and installed the Repository on my "server" machine (which is another normal machine on the network), and the executable apps (monitor, launcher, slave, etc..) on the slaves.
I created my scene on a slave machine named "A_machine" and send the current job to deadline. I activate my second slave "B_Machiner" (I´m on free version with 2 or less slaves), and on the monitor (I activate the monitor from A_Machine, to put my B_Machine available as slave for the render). My softimage project targets the output render to itself through network path : //Machine_A/xsi_project/Render_Pictures so my B_Machine could have access to the render. I also shared the folder so it can be accessed through the network. But my Machine_B keeps thinking the render should be locally (as the local path of my A_Machine) and thus generates ERROR 200 - file location not available. I´ve read the manual and it mentions all locations should be available not as relative but as complete path location, which is what I´ve checked through the entire process. I might be overlooking somewhere, but I have no previous experience with Deadline. Could someone lead me into the right process of creating jobs and sending them through a network of 2 machines? Please? Thanks. David.
