Is there any chance someone has expanded on the DR job by creating a script whereby once your job has picked up all its nodes you can do a right-click on your job and hit ‘write hosts file’ which would then write the hosts to the vray DR host file?
Hopefully someone else has worked that out so I don’t have to…
Hi,
If I understand you correctly, we already do this via our Maya in-app VRay DBR submitter.
Here’s the instructions to install the submitter script (via a mel script), which executes the python file: “SubmitMayaVRayDBRToDeadline.py”.
docs.thinkboxsoftware.com/produc … .html#maya
In this file (“SubmitMayaVRayDBRToDeadline.py”), you can see how we update the server list (“server_list”) based on the Deadline Slaves that pick up the job. This feature is only available via the in-app submitter (compared to submitting a Vray DBR ‘reserve’ job via the Deadline Monitor).
Ok cool, looks much more refined than I was hoping! Awesome!
