Deprecated Deadline 7 Discussion
#1

Hi,

 I have installed the repository on a RH Enterprise server running 6.6 and onto a network share exported from our Netapp filer and mounted to our render farm nodes through a mount point /deadline.

We have 11 render nodes running RH WS 6.2 and the 1 x 6.6 server

#uk-nde-s0008:/vol/Ideas/Ideas 28311552 13632000 14679552 49% /deadline

We also have the folder “ideas” mapped to our windows 7 workstations through T:

We want to submit Maya jobs from our windows 7 workstations and these have the client installed on them.

The problem occurs in Maya on windows when we set the projects, although we set the UNC path, the \ become forward slashes /
, I think this could be the problem. We are using Vray 3.0 to render in maya 2015.

In the below the test.mb file does get loaded in the following location."/root/Thinkbox/Deadline7/slave/node01/jobsData/5538ee8dd181261a90e6a921/

Can you please advise.

Deadline is loading the scene from that location because it is being submitted with the job. When this happens, the scene is then copied locally to the slave machine before rendering.

To render the scene from its original location on the network, simply disable the option to submit the scene file with the job when submitting the job to the farm.

Cheers,
Ryan

Hi,

We checked that off but we still get a similar error. We are submitting this from our windows 7 workstations currently to one node as a as a test. This node (node01) has maya2015 and vray installed.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that you’ll also need to set up Path Mapping so that the Windows paths are properly translated to Linux paths before rendering. For example, you’ll probably want //uk-nde-s0008.nissaneu.nmcorp.nissan.biz/ideas/test_dl/scenes/test.mb to be mapped to something like /mnt/ideas/test_dl/scenes/test.mb.

This can be done in the repository options, and the documentation (along with some examples) can be found here:
docs.thinkboxsoftware.com/produc … tform.html

Hope this helps!
Ryan

Hi Brilliant,

We have almost cracked it. The scene file now is being found (string $sceneName = “/deadline/test_dl/scenes/test.mb”:wink: but for some weird reason is being reported as unable to find. Have you encountered this before?

I looked at the log, and I think it’s able to find it, but it’s unable to open it. This is the error I’m seeing in the log:

However, the log shows that you are rendering with Maya 2015…

Is it possible that the scene was created in Maya 2015 Extension 1, and you don’t have Extension 1 installed on the render node?

Cheers,
Ryan

hi,

The user is using maya x64 2015 SP3 on a windows w/s. I downloaded the exact same version and installed on one of my render server nodes running RH 6.2 . I get the following errors now.

The file it complains about in the error is installed.
