Deadline and Vray Service mode

Deadline
1

Hello,

Deadline 3.1 and Vray 1.5sp2 are installed on nodes and running in “service” mode.

when i try to schedule a job , i receive this issue from deadline:

An error occurred in StartJob(): FailOnExistingMaxProcess is enabled, and a process 3dsmax with pid 160 exists - shut down this copy of 3dsmax to enable network rendering on this machine (Deadline.Plugins.ScriptPlugin+FailRenderException)

In fact Vray in service mode start a 3dsmax instance in background, and i think deadline is not “happy” with this process.

Does any tips , except shutdown the vray service, is available from deadline ?

thanks

There’s an option in the submit dialog called Fail on Existing Process…just uncheck that. Or if you’re doing it from the command line there is a similar job option…forget what its called its in the documentation.

Hello,

Thanks for you answer , but i don’t find this option. Does it is in the deadline monitor submit panel or inside 3dsmax submit plugins ?

thanks

Here you go, its the second checkbox down. If you’re not seeing Configure Plugins in the menu, make sure you’re in super user mode.
