It is recommended to disable any client firewall whilst initial testing/configuration is carried out. The port number needs to be identical on all machines including the workstation machine for a particular DCC application to communicate correctly. In the case of Softimage, this is necessary because Softimage uses V-Ray Standalone for distributed rendering and the default port number for V-Ray in Softimage is different from the default port number in V-Ray Standalone. Port Number (Softimage/Maya/3dsMax/3dsMaxRT only): The port number that V-Ray will use for distributed rendering. Maximum Servers: The maximum number of V-Ray Servers to reserve for distributed rendering. The general Deadline options are explained in the Job Submission documentation. V-Ray 2.x and 3.x RT/GPU - Production and Nightly beta builds V-Ray 2.x, V-Ray 3.x RT/GPU - Production and Nightly beta builds (v2 & v3: 20206) Used by render servers to broadcast a message that they are ready to join an ongoing DR session (v2 & v3: 20205) V-Ray 2.x, V-Ray 3.x - Production and Nightly beta builds (v2 & v3: 20204) During initial testing, it is recommended to open all ports in this range, verify and then consider tightening up security. Typically if in doubt, opening TCP/UDP ports in the range: 20200-20300 will cover all V-Ray implementations for DBR. Ensure any applicable firewalls are opened to allow pass-through communication. Here is a consolidated list of port requirements for the various versions of V-Ray. You can simply re-queue or delete/complete the current DBR job or re-submit. This can be helpful if V-Ray DBR becomes unstable and a user wishes to reset the system remotely. This makes our system more flexible and resilient to crashes as when we terminate the V-Ray DBR job in the Deadline queue, the Deadline Worker application will ‘cleanly’ tidy up V-RaySpawner/Standalone and more importantly, any DCC application (3dsMax/Maya) or Standalone instances which it in turn has spawned as a child process. Deadline is more flexible here and will spawn the V-RaySpawner/Standalone executable as a child process of the Deadline Worker. The interactive submitter will submit a V-Ray Spawner job (V-Ray Standalone for Maya, Softimage, 3dsMaxRT, Rhino, Sketchup) to reserve render nodes, and the submitter will automatically update the V-Ray server list.ĭo NOT execute or install the Chaos Group V-RaySpawner (V-RaySpawner/V-RaySpawner RT/V-Ray Standalone) executable as a background service (NT service/daemon). The instructions for installing the integrated submission script can be found further down this page. You can submit interactive V-Ray DBR jobs from 3ds Max, Maya, Rhino, or Softimage.
