Hi,
i just had a few jobs where no Slaves were being started despite them being candidates and not being blacklisted. The jobs were all assigned to the ‘none’ group and the pool called ‘rs’ and have a Machine Limit of 1.
This is from the Pulse log:
2014-12-14 14:44:43: Power Management - Machine Startup: Checking job "gera_TV_prores_reel07_25fps_from_DPX" (548d74650373631a948b93fb)

2014-12-14 14:44:43: Power Management - Machine Startup: There are no slaves that need to be woken up at this time
All those machines are also visible in the Slave panel with the Job Candidate Filter being active. A screenshot of the jobs’ Machine Limit settings is attached.
I can see that they are not being woken up due to the jobs’ machine limit. So i see why it doesn’t wake all of them. But it should at least wake up one machine, shouldn’t it?
As soon as i added all the candidates to the Whitelist manually they were woken up and started rendering the different jobs.
Am i missing something here?
Cheers,
Holger
