Rename Slave

Deadline

In Deadline 6, how do you rename/add a slave, without it being appended to the machine name?

This was possible in 5.2.

Thanks

In Deadline 6, all custom slave names must be prefixed with the host name of the machine. A big oversight to the way this worked in 5.2 was that if you ever renamed your slave machines, or if you cloned a bunch of slaves off of a master slave, you would have to manually rename the slaves across all of your machines. Otherwise, you would have slaves with the same name connecting to Deadline and that caused all sorts of problems.

We felt the proper way to avoid this problem was to automatically prefix the custom slave name with the host name.
