In the interest of eventually running standalone Linux jobs on AWS I’ve been running through the process on a local physical machine. After some initial struggles figuring out the correct process to mount the repository directory we use on CentOS I’ve added this testing Linux node to our existing farm but I can’t seem to get it to render a job.
I submit a vrscene via the GUI V-Ray Standalone submitter but receive the following error when the job is picked up:
|2019/07/01 15:09:37|Error|vray-linux|0|Vray|1|[2019/Jul/1|15:09:35] [12 MB] error: Error in file “/home/x/Thinkbox/Deadline10/slave/vray-linux/jobsData/5d1a541ce12d3c084ce67f98/thread0_tempJKxys0/Vanity.vrscene”, line 0: No file “/home/x/Thinkbox/Deadline10/slave/vray-linux/jobsData/5d1a541ce12d3c084ce67f98/thread0_tempJKxys0/Vanity.vrscene” exists|00:00:00:06|15 %|36 %|15 % (8245 / 54966 clocks)|4.258 GB (28%)|4.267 GB (28%)|
If on the local Linux machine I fire up V-Ray standalone this scene renders no problem.
If I navigate to the directory specified in the error there is just a sea of empty Thread0_ folders. It appears there is some issue with the .vrscene file actually being copied to the slave to render. Am I missing an option that helps ensure the .vrscene is passed along? Is this a pathing issue at play? A permissions issue?
Any insight would be appreciated!
