I’m not quite sure what this error means. I just purchased a couple rental nodes that had RealVNC on them and I can connect to these fine. But the nodes that we own, running the same RealVNC the rentals are throw this error:
Render01: The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found (System.Exception)
Deadline uses DNS to get the IP address of the machine you’re trying to connect to, and then uses that to build up the command line to pass to VNC. Can you connect to the nodes you own outside of Deadline without any problems? Also, are you able to ping Render01 from a command prompt? For example:
ping Render01Cheers,
Turns out the root of my issue was the nodes, running Vista, had both IPv4 and IPv6 protocol enabled. For some reason this was preventing the dns resolution of the name, though I could ping by IP. VNC is working great since I disabled IPv6.
