Backburner Questions

marksee · July 9th, 2008

Is it possible to run render servers from more than one backburner manager? In other words, I have (4) machines that I run via remote desktop from my laptop. I have another machine that I would like to be able to render to the servers from as well. In the backburner settings I only see one place to enter the manager name or ip address, is there a way to add another one for the other machine I want to render from as well?

Thanks!

You should have manager running on one machine on your network. Then you can send to it from any machine on the network with a full max license. You can also connect to the monitor app from any machine.

I once tried running 2 copies of manager on one network (form differnet pcs) and the nodes got a bit confused and froze - I had to shut it all down and reboot each machine to get going again.
