sideFX support saying in houdini 19.5 port forwarding is a no-no. no reply on my deadline support case about it either.
We’ve been using UBL for H19.5. The last time (late Oct) we used it, it was a little flaky e.g. suddenly it cannot connect to the license server and it will go through a loop of timeouts before it finally reconnects (~10 mins).
Is there any useful output from the hserver log (/tmp/houdini_temp/hserver.log) on the client/worker?
I think I’m missing some info (or I need more coffee). Are you running the Deadline setup (license forwarder, license server gw, 3rd party certs, etc.) for the spot instances? Does the user (running deadline on the worker) have root/admin privs?
Hi, I am having the same problem with mantra we are using vray,redshift in our own farm and everything ok, but with mantra the UBL does not work, we are with 19.5, I have tried to open the ports 1715 and 1716 but it does not render, I have opened the license administrator of houdini and I see that the license of the forwarder is assigned but the render does not start.

Could you tell me which version of deadline you’re running?
SideFX says they have disabled support for port-forwarding in hserver from 19.5 — this should prove troublesome for deadline / UBL since that’s the principle the license forwarder is using to get its license.
