Wake on Lan in v2.7

Hi,

I’ve got Wake On Lan operating on our render farm, however even though I’ve set wake up intervals of 4 slaves to wake up every 2 minutes (plenty of time for the node to boot up) Pulse still starts all the nodes for a new job. In particular, it starts them for After Effects renders that only require one machine to render the movie. It’s as if because the slaves aren’t running and therefore able to receive the job straight away, it panics and tells them all to start.

Cheers,

Jon

There were some known issues with WOL in Deadline 2.7 (the one you mentioned sounds familiar), and we believe we have addressed in Deadline 3.0. Your best option would be to upgrade, and if you continue to have problems, let us know.

Cheers,
