I've ran into a problem that has left scratching my head, baffled in
utter confusion. I can't seem to get all of the batch rendering licenses
to pick up, when I submit a render to the farm, via RUSH or command
line. Only specific amount, say 5, will pick up, then it thinks that we
are out of license when we actually have at least 8 times more than it
thinks we have.
I'm curious if anyone has ever ran into this scenario. I tested all of
our machines on the farm individually and they seem to be able to pick
up a job just fine. However should I try and submit a job that requires
more machines than 5 machines, only that amount will pick up and the
rest end up giving me errors saying that the batch license is not
available.
Here is the batch command I run (yes, it is linux):
/usr/Softimage/XSI_6.01/Application/bin/xsibatch -batchonly -render
<myscenefile> -pass <mypass> -frames 1,10
Now the weird thing is that if I run this command in on a shell on my
own workstation, I can submit as many as my hearts content till I max
out our licenses. However if I rsh into one of the machines on the farm
and run the same command, while 5 licenses are already in use, I will
get these errors:
License warning: feature [XSI Batch Linux] not available
License warning: feature [XSI Batch All] not available
License warning: feature [XSI Batch] not available
License warning: feature [XSI Batch Universal Linux] not available
License warning: feature [XSI Batch Universal All] not available
License check for feature 'XSI Linux' was denied.
SPM Error: 1
Has anyone seen this before?
thanks,
Greg
